# SSH-Snake: Automated SSH-Based Network Traversal # SSH-Snake: Automated SSH-Based Network Traversal
SSH-Snake is a powerful tool designed to perform automatic network traversal using SSH private keys discovered on systems, with the objective of creating a comprehensive map of a network and its dependencies to identify the extent that a network can be compromised using SSH and SSH private keys starting from a particular system.

# About SSH-Snake # About SSH-Snake
SSH-Snake seamlessly emulates what a human adversary would do to discover SSH private keys and destinations that they can be used for. Written entirely in Bash, it operates with a minimal set of dependencies commonly available on major Linux systems: `bash`, `ssh`, `getconf`, `coreutils`, `getent`, `awk`, `sort`, `grep`, `tr`, `find`, and `cat`. Likewise, `sudo`, `hostname`, `ip`, and `xargs` may also be used, but they are not required (and the script gracefully handles cases where they are not present). If a system is discovered without any of the required packages, it gracefully fails, alerting the user that the scan could not continue on that system because a required package was missing (and backtracks continues from the previous system).

If a system is discovered without any of the required packages, it gracefully fails, alerting the user that the scan could not continue on that particular system (and backtracks, continuing from the previous system.)
SSH-Snake is completely fileless: after the user runs the script, it is passed to destinations' bash via stdin and bash arguments (via SSH). No material evidence of the script exists on any of the systems scanned: the only evidence of the script running is in the process tree, and the substantial amount of invalid SSH attempts which will inevitably occur.

SSH-Snake takes a [depth-first approach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-first_search) to discovery: once it connects to one system, it tries to connect further from that system before going backtracking.

The name SSH-Snake comes from the fact that the output of the script looks like a snake slithering up and down the network. However unlike the game Snake, SSH-Snake will not die when it bites its own tail (connects to a systems it has already scanned or is currently scanning): it will simply print how it connected there as normal, but return and not re-scan the destination (in order to avoid infinite recursion).

SSH-Snake comes with a variety configurable/plug-and-play strategies (functions) which can be used to discover SSH private keys on a system and discover hosts and destinations to attempt to connect to. Sane defaults have been provided, however if you want to perform a scan as thoroughly as possible, then enabling more discovery techniques can help. If a scan is taking a long time, disabling some discovery techniques can help. With the exception of one strategy (`find_ssh_keys`), each of these strategies can be toggled off/on.
