About

A lightweight tool to quickly and quietly enumerate an Active Directory environment. The goal of this tool is to get a Lay of the Land whilst making as little noise on the network as possible. The tool will make one LDAP query that is used for parsing, and create a cache file to prevent further queries/noise on the network. If no credentials are passed it will attempt anonymous BIND.

Using the -o flag will result in output files for each section normally in stdout. The files created using all flags will be:
