## What it is
A curated cheat sheet covering common enumeration and attack techniques for Windows Active Directory environments, organized as a kill-chain methodology. It collects quick commands from tools built on PowerShell, C, and .NET for each stage from recon to exfiltration.

## Use cases
- learn active directory attack techniques
- enumerate a windows domain during a pentest
- find privilege escalation commands for AD
- reference lateral movement methods
- prepare for offensive security certifications
- plan red team engagement methodology
- look up BloodHound usage commands

## When to choose
- you need a quick command reference for AD enumeration or exploitation
- you are studying for pentesting certs like OSCP or CRTP
- you want a structured kill-chain methodology for AD engagements

## When to avoid
- you need defensive hardening guidance rather than offensive techniques
- you want an executable tool rather than documentation
- you need up-to-date coverage of the newest AD exploits
