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. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for ldeep.
