## 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.
