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.

The installation is easy. Git clone the repo and run go build.
go get github.com/Ice3man543/hawkeye
If you wish to upgrade the package you can use:
go get -u github.com/Ice3man543/hawkeye
Hawkeye needs a directory to begin with. A directory can be supplied with -d
flag. For example –
./hawkeye -d <directory>
To run it against my home directory, i can pass /home/ice3man as the argument.
./hawkeye -d /home/ice3man
✘ ice3man@TheDaemon ~/tmp ./hawkeye -d /home/ice3man
