history

Project history and usage

ldeep is a Python-based LDAP enumeration tool for security testing and Active Directory assessment workflows.

Project history

The franc-pentest GitHub repository presents ldeep as an LDAP enumeration utility and provides the package README as the main documentation surface.

The public tag history includes a 1.0.0 tag on an October 2018 commit and later 1.0.x tags, but the project has a comparatively thin public narrative beyond repository metadata, README usage, and package-manager entries.

Adoption history

The package appears in Homebrew and Nix, suggesting targeted adoption by penetration testers who install repeatable security-tool environments rather than broad general-purpose developer usage.

How it is used

ldeep is used during LDAP and Active Directory enumeration to collect directory information useful in security audits and penetration tests.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, ldeep is a typical niche security CLI: valuable to a specific workflow, mostly documented by its README, and best categorized by executable behavior rather than a large release history.

Timeline

2018-10: Public 1.0.0 tag appears in the GitHub repository history.
2018-2020s: 1.0.x tags continue the package line visible from GitHub tags.
2020s: Homebrew and Nix package entries make the tool installable through common reproducible security workstations.

Related projects

Related tools are LDAP and Active Directory enumeration utilities used in penetration-testing toolchains, including command-line LDAP clients and security-focused directory scanners.
