BloodHound Community Edition is a free, open-source application that uses graph theory to reveal hidden relationships and attack paths in Active Directory and Entra environments. It collects identity and directory data with collectors like SharpHound and AzureHound, ingests it into a graph database, and visualizes privilege escalation paths for defenders and attackers.

Use cases

• map active directory attack paths
• find shortest path to domain admin
• audit privilege escalation routes in AD
• visualize AD trust relationships as a graph
• identify over-privileged users and groups
• assess Entra ID attack paths
• plan remediation of identity attack paths

When to choose

• you need to analyze Active Directory or Entra ID attack paths during assessments
• you want a free self-hosted tool to map privilege escalation routes to Domain Admin
• you are auditing over-privileged identities and trust relationships

When to avoid

• you need continuous enterprise-scale attack path management with remediation guidance across AWS, Okta, and other platforms - use BloodHound Enterprise
• you need a general-purpose network vulnerability scanner rather than identity attack path analysis
