bloodhoundcli

Lets you quickly spin up BloodHound CE instances.

Download

wget https://github.com/SpecterOps/bloodhound-cli/releases/latest/download/bloodhound-cli-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Unpack

tar -xvzf bloodhound-cli-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Install

./bloodhound-cli install

Set graph_driver to `pg`

I learned in this Slack thread that certain features/queries work better when back end of BH uses postgres instead of neo4j. If that fits your use case, do this:

# Set the graph_driver variable
./bloodhound-cli config set graph_driver pg

# Then install
./bloodhound-cli install

Tip

You may need to install docker compose if you don't have it already:

sudo apt install docker-compose

Take docker containers down, then up

./bloodhound-cli down
./bloodhound-cli up

Uninstall an instance

./bloodhound-cli uninstall

Grab forgotten admin password

./bloodhound-cli config get default_password
