## What it is
BloodHound.py is a Python-based data ingestor for BloodHound that enumerates Active Directory domains, collecting users, groups, computers, sessions, trusts, and local admin relationships. It is built on Impacket and provides a command-line tool (bloodhound-python) that outputs JSON data for BloodHound graph analysis.

## Use cases
- enumerate active directory users groups and computers from linux
- collect bloodhound data without running windows tools
- map active directory attack paths and privilege escalation routes
- gather domain trust and local admin information for pentest reports
- query ldap and remote computers to collect session data
- ingest AD data into bloodhound for graph analysis

## When to choose
- you need to run BloodHound data collection from Linux or macOS without Windows
- you want a scriptable, pip-installable alternative to SharpHound
- you are doing AD security assessments or red team engagements from a non-Windows host
- you need to authenticate with NT hashes, AES keys, or Kerberos tickets instead of passwords

## When to avoid
- you are running BloodHound Community Edition and need the CE branch rather than legacy 4.2/4.3 support
- you need the full collection fidelity of SharpHound on a Windows domain-joined machine
- you are not working with Active Directory environments
