If you are using the Phar file, it will be in a file called CodeSniffer.conf in the same directory as your Phar file.

If you have installed via PEAR, it will be at PHP_CodeSniffer/CodeSniffer.conf inside your PEAR data directory (run pear config-show and look for the data_dir line to find where that is).

If you have installed via Composer, it will be at vendor/squizlabs/php_codesniffer/CodeSniffer.conf

If you have cloned from Git, it will be in a file called CodeSniffer.conf inside the cloned PHP_CodeSniffer directory.
