+# cat - Read File Contents
+
+Read and display the contents of a file on the target system.
+
+## Description
+
+The `cat` command reads and displays the contents of a file on the target system. It automatically detects and extracts credentials from file contents including plaintext passwords, NTLM hashes, and domain credentials.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```
+cat <file_path>
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+- `file_path` (required): Path to the file to read. Supports both absolute and relative paths.
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+cat C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\notes.txt
+cat config.ini
+cat C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- Supports both absolute and relative paths (relative paths are resolved using the current working directory)
+- Automatically detects and extracts credentials from file contents including:
+
+## Output
+
+```
+[cat] Reading file: C:\Users\Administrator\notes.txt
+Hello, this is a test file.
+
+[cat] Credentials detected:
+- Password: MyPassword123
+- Hash: aad3b435b51404ee:1234567890abcdef...
+```
+
+## OPSEC Considerations
+
+- File reads are logged by EDR/XDR solutions
+- Accessing sensitive files (System32, Program Files) may trigger alerts
+- Consider using `download` for large files instead of `cat`
