## What it is
DeathStar is a Python CLI tool that automates gaining Domain and Enterprise Admin privileges in Active Directory environments by chaining common offensive TTPs via Empire's RESTful API. It features an asynchronous architecture, multi-domain/forest support, active monitoring of compromised hosts, and a plugin system (Kyber Crystals) for extending functionality.

## Use cases
- automate privilege escalation to Domain Admin in Active Directory
- demonstrate how AD misconfigurations can be chained into full compromise
- run automated attack paths during red team engagements
- monitor compromised machines for new logins and adapt attack paths
- extend automated AD attack techniques with custom plugins
- test Active Directory defenses against common offensive TTPs

## When to choose
- you need automated Domain/Enterprise Admin escalation in an AD environment during authorized pentests
- you already use the BC-Security Empire C2 framework and want to automate privilege escalation
- you want to demonstrate the impact of chained AD misconfigurations to clients
- you need multi-domain and multi-forest attack path automation

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose vulnerability scanner or full pentest framework
- your target is not an Active Directory environment
- you want actively developed tooling with frequent updates
- you lack authorization to test the target environment
