Network shares
Theory
In organization networks, it is common to find passwords in random files (logs, config files, personal documents, Office documents, ...). Other credential dumping techniques (SAM & LSA, NTDS.dit, some web browsers, ...) could be considered as sub-techniques of credential dumping from files. This recipe focuses on the techniques that allow to gather password and sensitive information from generic and random files other than the ones involved in the sub-techniques mentioned before.
Practice
From UNIX-like systems, the manspider (Python) tool can be used to find sensitive information across a number of shares.
bash
manspider.py --threads 50 $IP_RANGE/$MASK -d $DOMAIN -u $USER -p $PASSWORD --content "set sqlplus" "password ="Manually, shares can be mounted and grepped for interesting information.
