### Objective

**BloodHound** is a graph-based Active Directory analysis tool.

It can visualize:

* relationships between users, groups and machines;
* the paths of privilege;
* sessions;
* local administration rights;
* pathways to high-value accounts;
* Bad Active Directory configurations.

It is one of the best tools for quickly understanding security relationships in an AD domain.

### Installing Neo4j with Docker

BloodHound uses Neo4j as its graphics database.

Docker command:

<pre class="language-bash" data-overflow="wrap"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>sudo docker run /
</strong>    --name neo4j-bloodhound /
    -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 /
    -d /
    -v ~/neo4j/data:/data /
    -v ~/neo4j/logs:/logs /
    --env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/jordanmacia/
    --env NEO4J_dbms_connector_bolt_tls_level=DISABLED /
    neo4j:4.4
</code></pre>

Points importants :

| Port   | Utility                            |
| ------ | ---------------------------------- |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/active-directory/enumeration/bloodhound-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
