Please remove/rename a tool called snitch since the upstream URL doesn't exist anymore. It redirects to a tool collection which doesn't have a similar tool AFAIK. According to the Wayback Machine, it was designed for Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT 4.0 and has now been removed.

The actual problem is that its name clashes with a name of a different package from AUR which causes some inter-repository crawling issues.

Separate blackarch's snitch from others
713dc3b 
A BlackArch's tool called snitch is different from the modern
https://github.com/cschreib/snitch. The latter is a testing framework.
The former is a security-related program, and it was removed from the upstream.
The removal from BlackArch may take a while, so it's worth adding an exception here.

See BlackArch/blackarch#3708.
