About Sn1perSecurity

Offensive security, built for defenders.

We build the platform that lets security teams see their organization the way attackers do — so they can fix what matters, before it's exploited.

2014 Founded Open-source Foundation Independent & Bootstrapped

Our story

From a single GitHub commit to a global platform.

Sn1per was born in 2014 from a working pentester's frustration: every engagement meant stitching together forty different tools, rewriting the same recon scripts over and over, and losing hours to workflow setup instead of spending them on actual findings.

So we open-sourced a script on GitHub that chained the critical recon-to-exploit workflow into one command. The community picked it up fast. What started as a weekend project for one pentester became the offensive-security toolkit of choice for thousands of red teamers, bug bounty hunters, and enterprise security teams worldwide.

Thousands of commits later, Sn1per is the platform trusted to find what matters — and ignore what doesn't. We still ship the open-source core free on GitHub. We still answer our own support emails. And we still build by the same philosophy: the best defense is the attacker's perspective.

Open-source foundation

Battle-tested by the community. Trusted since 2015.

Sn1per's open-source core is one of the most widely-adopted offensive-security tools on GitHub. Our commercial editions build on that proven foundation with team workflows, enterprise support, and hardened deployment.

What we stand for

Four principles. Every release.

01

Practical over theoretical.

Every check in Sn1per is validated against real-world engagements. If it doesn’t pay dividends in a paid pentest, it doesn’t ship. No vanity detections, no false-positive spam.

02

Built by operators, for operators.

Sn1per is designed by pentesters who still pentest. We dogfood every release against our own engagements before it ever reaches a paying customer.

03

Open-source foundation.

Our core scan engine is public and auditable on GitHub. Your security team can read the code, review the integrations, and clear compliance without a black-box dependency.

04

Enterprise scale, no enterprise bloat.

From a single workstation to hundreds of assets across a global team — one platform, flat yearly pricing. No per-scan fees, no hidden seat costs, no mandatory services contract.

AI-Powered Division

Meet Image SILENTCHAIN AI.

The AI-powered product division of Sn1perSecurity LLC, building the next generation of offensive security tools.

SILENTCHAIN serves penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, red teams, and application security engineers who need AI that understands real-world exploitation scenarios — not pattern matching dressed up as intelligence.

Our mission: make AI-driven security testing reliable, private, and accessible. We address the generic-LLM hallucination problem by anchoring analysis in a curated knowledge base of 80,000+ security documents — real exploits, CWE definitions, CVE data, and verified scan results.

Key Principle

Privacy-first.

Every product supports fully local AI processing via Ollama — your target data and source code stay on-premises, with no mandatory cloud dependencies and no silent telemetry.

Key Principle

Open-source foundation.

The Community Edition provides free, open-source access to AI-powered vulnerability detection for every security professional — no paywall on the fundamentals.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Sn1per.

What is Sn1per?

Sn1per is an automated penetration testing and attack surface management platform that discovers internet-facing assets, identifies vulnerable conditions, and verifies findings with active exploitation. It ships as a free community CLI plus three commercial tiers (Pro, Enterprise, and the AI-augmented SILENTCHAIN family).

Who makes Sn1per?

Sn1perSecurity LLC, an independent US-based company. Lead development by xer0dayz (1N3), a working penetration tester and bug bounty researcher. Continuously developed since 2014.

Is Sn1per on-prem or SaaS?

Sn1per is on-prem by default. The scan engine runs on customer-controlled infrastructure (bare metal, VM, container, or customer cloud VPC) and never sends asset data, scan results, or exploit signatures off the customer perimeter. There is no SaaS-hosted version.

What's the difference between Sn1per Pro and Sn1per Enterprise?

Pro is single-seat at $984/year and is designed for individual pentesters and small teams (1,000 active hosts, 30 assets per workspace, 5 workspaces). Enterprise is custom-priced and built for organizations monitoring 50,000+ external assets with multi-tenant workspaces, RBAC, distributed scan engines, audit-grade reporting, and SIEM integrations.

Is there a free version of Sn1per?

Yes. Sn1per Community Edition is free and open-source on GitHub. It includes the CLI scan engine but not the commercial Web UI, reporting layer, or active-exploitation modules that ship with Pro and Enterprise.

How is Sn1per different from a vulnerability scanner?

A vulnerability scanner expects you to hand it a target list. Sn1per discovers the target list for you including the assets your CMDB does not know about and then tests each one for exploitable conditions. The two categories are complementary: most mature security programs run both.
