Package: impacket
ImpacketFORTRA. Copyright (C) 2023 Fortra. All rights reserved.Impacket was originally created bySecureAuth, and now maintained by Fortra's Core Security.Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network
protocols. Impacket is focused on providing low-level
programmatic access to the packets and for some protocols (e.g.
SMB1-3 and MSRPC) the protocol implementation itself.
Packets can be constructed from scratch, as well as parsed from
raw data, and the object-oriented API makes it simple to work with
deep hierarchies of protocols. The library provides a set of tools
as examples of what can be done within the context of this library.What protocols are featured?Ethernet, Linux "Cooked" capture.IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP.IPv4 and IPv6 Support.NMB and SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3 (high-level implementations).MSRPC version 5, over different transports: TCP, SMB/TCP, SMB/NetBIOS and HTTP.Plain, NTLM and Kerberos authentications, using password/hashes/tickets/keys.Portions/full implementation of the following MSRPC interfaces: EPM, DTYPES, LSAD, LSAT, NRPC, RRP, SAMR, SRVS, WKST, SCMR, BKRP, DHCPM, EVEN6, MGMT, SASEC, TSCH, DCOM, WMI, OXABREF, NSPI, OXNSPI.Portions of TDS (MSSQL) and LDAP protocol implementations.MaintainerCore SecurityTable of ContentsGetting ImpacketSetupTestingLicensingDisclaimerContact UsGetting ImpacketLatest versionImpacket v0.11.0Current and past releasesDevelopment versionImpacket v0.12.0-dev (master branch)SetupQuick start:information_source: We recommend usingpipxoverpipfor system-wide installations.In order to grab the latest stable release run:python3 -m pipx install impacketIf you want to play with the unreleased changes, download the development
