SanitizeDrop: Offline Config Sanitizer

SanitizeDrop brings the CiscoTools config sanitizer to your desktop: a small app for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows x64 with no installer. Drag a Cisco config onto the window (one file, a handful, or a whole folder) and it redacts passwords, SNMP community strings, TACACS+ and RADIUS keys, crypto pre-shared keys, and banner content before you share the file. It is the same sanitizer engine that powers the web tool, running entirely on your own machine.

When you need it: sanitizing configs on a management workstation with no internet access, working under security policies that forbid pasting configs into websites, or cleaning batches of files before attaching them to TAC cases. Because SanitizeDrop runs offline, the config never leaves your machine.

What it does

Frequently asked questions

Does SanitizeDrop upload my configs anywhere?

No. Sanitization runs entirely on your machine. The app works offline and nothing is uploaded.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS on Apple Silicon (.app) and Windows x64 (.exe). It needs no installer.

Why do you ask for an email address?

Entering an email starts the download. It is also used to let you know about updates to SanitizeDrop and our other apps. The web-based Config Sanitizer requires no email and no signup.
