Custom Queries

Replace the customqueries.json with one of the below files to update the custom queries within Bloodhound. Remember to restart Bloodhound after changing the JSON file.

Locate custom queries file

find ~/ -type f -name customqueries.json 2>/dev/null  

Add one of the queries below:

# Exegol
curl -sSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ThePorgs/Exegol-images/3d6d7a41e46acb6898da996c4198971be02e4d77/sources/bloodhound/customqueries.json" -o ~/.config/bloodhound/customqueries.json  

# CompassSecurity

Purging Neo4j Database

This will wipe the database of all data. Requires setting new credentials again on http://localhost:7474/browser/

# Remove relevent database files (Ensure to restart neo4j after)
sudo rm -Rf /etc/neo4j/data/databases/* data/transactions/*
sudo rm -Rf /etc/neo4j/data/transactions/*

sudo apt-get install docker-compose
curl -L https://ghst.ly/getbhce | docker compose -f - up

# When finished search through the terminal (if first run) for a generated password.
# go to http://localhost:8080 and login with Admin and the password

Keep in mind that Bloodhound captures a 'snapshot' of the current state of Active Directory at the time of capture and as such results may change when captured again in the future.
