# Getting Started with BloodHound

To get started with BloodHound, check out the [BloodHound docs.](https://bloodhound.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)

# About BloodHound

BloodHound is a single page Javascript web application, built on top of [Linkurious](http://linkurio.us/), compiled with [Electron](http://electron.atom.io/), with a [Neo4j](https://neo4j.com/) database fed by a C# data collector.

BloodHound uses graph theory to reveal the hidden and often unintended relationships within an Active Directory or Azure environment. Attackers can use BloodHound to easily identify highly complex attack paths that would otherwise be impossible to quickly identify. Defenders can use BloodHound to identify and eliminate those same attack paths. Both blue and red teams can use BloodHound to easily gain a deeper understanding of privilege relationships in an Active Directory or Azure environment.
BloodHound Legacy has been replaced by the free BloodHound Community Edition:
* [BloodHound Community Edition GitHub repository](https://github.com/SpecterOps/BloodHound)
* [Installation instructions](https://bloodhound.specterops.io/get-started/quickstart/community-edition-quickstart)
* [Full documentation](https://bloodhound.specterops.io)

BloodHound was created by [@_wald0](https://www.twitter.com/_wald0), [@CptJesus](https://twitter.com/CptJesus), and [@harmj0y](https://twitter.com/harmj0y).

BloodHound is maintained by the [BloodHound Enterprise](https://bloodhoundenterprise.io/) team.
