## What it is
PowerHuntShares is a PowerShell audit tool that inventories, analyzes, and reports excessive privileges on SMB share ACLs across Active Directory domains. It discovers accessible domain systems, collects share ACL data, and generates HTML/CSV reports with risk prioritization, including optional LLM-based share fingerprinting.

## Use cases
- audit SMB share permissions across an Active Directory domain
- find shares with Everyone or Domain Users excessive privileges
- inventory network share ACLs during a penetration test
- generate HTML and CSV reports of risky share permissions
- discover accessible domain computers with open SMB ports
- prioritize remediation of high-risk share ACLs

## When to choose
- you are a pentester or defender auditing SMB share permissions in an AD environment
- you need automated discovery and ACL collection across many domain systems
- you want statistical and LLM-assisted risk context for share misconfigurations

## When to avoid
- you need auditing of non-Windows file servers or non-SMB protocols
- you lack Windows/PowerShell or appropriate domain credentials
- you need a continuous monitoring solution rather than point-in-time audits
