## What it is
A collection of situational awareness commands implemented as Cobalt Strike Beacon Object Files (BOFs) in C, letting operators run low-footprint host checks before more invasive actions. It also serves as a reference workflow and template for developing new BOFs.

## Use cases
- enumerate AD CS certificate authorities and templates from a beacon
- check for AV/EDR drivers by signing certificates on a host
- list ARP table, sessions, and environment variables during post-exploitation recon
- learn how to write and build Beacon Object Files for Cobalt Strike
- read files and enumerate directories with wildcards from a beacon
- check Active Directory Recycle Bin status and deleted objects

## When to choose
- you run Cobalt Strike and want low-overhead host enumeration without spawning processes
- you need a starting template and workflow for developing your own BOFs
- you want quick situational awareness checks like EDR detection or AD CS enumeration

## When to avoid
- you use a C2 framework other than Cobalt Strike that lacks BOF support
- you need a standalone GUI or general-purpose pentesting toolkit rather than beacon-integrated commands
- you are looking for defensive/blue-team tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: security, cli, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: beacon-object-files, cobalt-strike, red-team, offensive-security, situational-awareness, post-exploitation, cna, command-line
