Hawkeye – A Tool To Crawl The Filesystem Or A Directory

HawkEye is a simple tool to crawl the filesystem or a directory looking for interesting stuff like SSH Keys, Log Files, Sqlite Database, password files, etc. Hawkeye uses a fast filesystem crawler to look through files recursively and then sends them for analysis in real time and presents the data in both json format and simple console output. The tool is built with a modular approach making it easy to use and easily extensible.

It can be used during pentests as a privilege escalation tool to look through the filesystem finding configuration files or ssh keys sometimes left by the sys-admins.

Features

  1. Simple and modular code base making it easy to contribute.
  2. Fast And Powerful Directory crawling module doing real-time analysis
  3. Easily extensible and vast scanner (Thanks to Gitrob)
  4. Outputs in various formats
