## What it is
PywerView is a partial Python rewrite of PowerSploit's PowerView for Active Directory enumeration, built on impacket. It lets pentesters run AD reconnaissance commands from Linux without needing a domain-joined machine or PowerShell.

## Use cases
- enumerate active directory users and groups from linux
- find which domain users have local admin on machines
- run powerview-style recon without powershell
- script active directory enumeration during pentests
- list domain computers and sessions with stolen credentials
- perform AD reconnaissance from a non-domain-joined host

## When to choose
- you're a pentester on Linux needing AD enumeration
- you want scriptable Python AD recon instead of PowerShell
- you need to enumerate a domain from a machine not joined to it

## When to avoid
- you need full PowerView feature coverage like GPO or user hunting functions
- you're on a domain-joined Windows box where native PowerView works
- you need a fully stable, bug-free tool for production use

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: active-directory, reconnaissance, powersploit, powerview, impacket, pentest, domain-enumeration, command-line, linux
