The BloodHound Project
Created by SpecterOps
BloodHound is an open-source security tool developed by SpecterOps that uses graph theory to reveal the hidden and often unintended relationships within Active Directory and Azure environments. Both attackers and defenders use BloodHound to identify complex attack paths and privileged relationships that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to find.
- Helps red and blue teams understand privilege escalation paths in AD/Azure
- Visualizes relationships and permissions as a graph
- Composed of a React frontend and Go REST API backend
- Uses PostgreSQL and Neo4j databases
- Fed by SharpHound and AzureHound data collectors
BloodHound is released under the Apache-2.0 License.
