## What it is
DomainPasswordSpray is a PowerShell tool that performs password spray attacks against domain user accounts, automatically generating a user list from the domain. It attempts to detect the account lockout observation window to limit sprays and avoid locking out accounts.

## Use cases
- spray a single password across all domain users
- test multiple passwords against Active Directory accounts during a penetration test
- generate a user list from a domain excluding disabled and near-lockout accounts
- avoid account lockouts by respecting the domain lockout observation window
- output successful credential matches to a file

## When to choose
- you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming against an Active Directory environment
- you need a lightweight PowerShell tool with no dependencies on Windows domain-joined machines
- you want automatic user enumeration and lockout-window-aware spraying

## When to avoid
- you do not have explicit authorization to test the domain
- the domain has strict lockout policies and you cannot risk account lockouts
- you need cross-platform tooling outside Windows PowerShell
- you need stealth features like jitter or source-IP masking not provided by this tool
