## What it is
RustHound is a cross-platform Active Directory data collector for BloodHound Legacy 4.x, written in Rust. It enumerates users, groups, computers, OUs, GPOs, containers, and ADCS data from a domain and generates JSON files for analysis in BloodHound.

## Use cases
- collect active directory data for bloodhound analysis
- enumerate AD users groups and computers from linux
- alternative to sharphound when blocked by antivirus
- cross-platform bloodhound collector written in rust
- gather ADCS certificate data for attack path mapping
- red team AD reconnaissance from macOS or linux

## When to choose
- SharpHound is detected by antivirus or unavailable on your OS
- you need to collect AD data from Linux or macOS
- you want a cross-compiled static binary for pentest operations
- you target BloodHound Legacy 4.x

## When to avoid
- you use BloodHound Community Edition (use RustHound-CE instead)
- you need full SharpHound feature parity
- you are a blue teamer wanting a passive monitoring tool

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking
- platform: windows, cross-platform, cli
- tags: active-directory, bloodhound, red-team, ldap, adcs, sharphound, collector, cross-compiled, linux, macos
