Readme

Impacket

Impacket was originally created by SecureAuth, 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.
