Sn1per Community Edition is a free, open-source attack surface management (ASM) and automated penetration testing platform built by working pentesters since 2014. Trusted by 500+ security teams worldwide, with 10,000+ stars and 2,000+ forks on GitHub.
Sn1per Community Edition discovers your organization's external attack surface, automates reconnaissance and OSINT collection, scans for vulnerabilities and CVEs, and verifies exploitability - all from a single command-line tool. Deploy on Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, or Docker in minutes.
For the full web UI, multi-user workspaces, active exploitation modules, PDF reporting, and distributed scanning at enterprise scale, see Sn1per Professional 2026 and Sn1per Enterprise at https://sn1persecurity.com .
Use cases
- External Attack Surface Management (EASM) - Continuous discovery, monitoring, and risk prioritization of every internet-facing asset, including assets that don't appear in a CMDB. Combines DNS enumeration, certificate transparency, port scanning, web fingerprinting, and OSINT.
- Automated Penetration Testing - Orchestrate 600+ exploits and 10,000+ detections in a single workflow. Active verification eliminates the false positives that version-only vulnerability scanners ship as "critical."
- Bug Bounty Automation - Manage large attack surfaces and stay ahead of the competition with continuous scanning, change detection, and integrated reporting.
- Red Team Automation - Simulate real-world attackers and stress-test blue team detection and response.
- Vulnerability Scanning - Aggregate findings from open-source and commercial scanners into one centralized risk view. Integrates natively with Nessus, OpenVAS / GVM, Nuclei, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Pro, WPScan, and Metasploit.
- Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) - Scan web applications for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, and misconfigurations.
- Threat Intelligence and OSINT - Stay current with emerging CVEs, data breaches, and exploit releases. Native integrations with Shodan, Censys, Hunter.io, and VirusTotal.
- Continuous Attack Surface Monitoring - Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly rescans to detect new domains, subdomains, open ports, HTTP header changes, and exposed services.
Core features
- One-line installation script - running in under five minutes on Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, or Docker

Highlights
- External Attack Surface Management (EASM) without blind spots. Sn1per continuously discovers and monitors every internet-facing asset your organization owns, including shadow IT, forgotten subdomains, and cloud sprawl that never make it into the CMDB. Combines DNS enumeration, certificate transparency, port scanning, web fingerprinting, and OSINT collection into one unified attack surface management workflow. Trusted by 500+ security teams worldwide with 10,000+ GitHub stars.
- Automated penetration testing with active verification - no more false positives. Sn1per orchestrates 600+ exploits and 10,000+ detection signatures in a single workflow, then verifies exploitability so your team triages real risk instead of version-only critical findings. Native integrations with Nessus, Nuclei, OpenVAS, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Pro, Metasploit, and Shodan. Run from the CLI on Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, or Docker.
- Free, open-source, and 100% on-premises - scan data never leaves your perimeter. Sn1per Community Edition is the attack surface management and automated pentest tool of choice for pentesters, bug bounty hunters, red teams, and SOC analysts who need full control over their tooling. One-line install on Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, or Docker.
