+### ShareHound – OpenGraph collector for SMB shares (BloodHound)
+
+[ShareHound](https://github.com/p0dalirius/sharehound) discovers domain SMB shares, traverses them, extracts ACLs, and emits an OpenGraph JSON file for BloodHound CE/Enterprise.
+
+- Baseline collection:
+  1) LDAP: enumerate computer objects, read `dNSHostName`
+  2) DNS: resolve each host
+  3) SMB: list shares on reachable hosts
+  4) Crawl shares (BFS/DFS), enumerate files/folders, capture permissions
+
+ShareQL-driven traversal
+- [ShareQL](https://github.com/p0dalirius/shareql) is a first-match-wins DSL to allow/deny traversal by host/share/path and set per-rule max depth. Focus on interesting shares and cap recursion.
+
+Example ShareQL rules
+```text
+# Only crawl shares with name containing "backup", up to depth 2
+allow host * share * path * depth 0
+allow host * share *backup* path * depth 2
+deny  host * share * path *
+```
+
+Usage
+```bash
+sharehound -ai "10.0.100.201" -au "user" -ap "Test123!" -ns "10.0.100.201" \
+  -rf "rules/skip_common_shares.shareql" -rf "rules/max_depth_2.shareql"
+```
+- Provide AD creds via `-ad`/`-au`/`-ap` (or use `-ad` with `-au`/`-ap`). Use `-r`/`-rf` for inline rules or files.
+- Output: JSON OpenGraph; import in BloodHound to query hosts/shares/files and effective rights.
+- Tip: Limit max depth to 1–2 unless your filters are very restrictive.

+<summary>Cypher: principals with FULL_CONTROL on shares</summary>
