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 (for instance NMB, SMB1-3 and MS-DCERPC) 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.
A description of some of the tools can be found at: http://corelabs.coresecurity.com/index.php?module=Wiki&action=view&type=tool&name=Impacket
- Ethernet, Linux "Cooked" capture.
- IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMP, ARP. (IPv4 and IPv6)
- NMB and SMB1/2/3 (high-level implementations).
- DCE/RPC versions 4 and 5, over different transports: UDP (version 4 exclusively), TCP, SMB/TCP, SMB/NetBIOS and HTTP.
- Portions of the following DCE/RPC interfaces: Conv, DCOM (WMI, OAUTH), EPM, SAMR, SCMR, RRP, SRVSC, LSAD, LSAT, WKST, NRPC.
Grab the latest stable release, unpack it and run pip install . from the directory where you placed it. Isn't that easy?
- A Python interpreter. Versions 2.0.1 and newer are known to work.
- If you want to run the examples and you have Python < 2.7, you
will need to install the
argparsepackage for them to work. - For Kerberos support you will need
pyasn1package - For cryptographic operations you will need
pycryptopackage - For some examples you will need
pyOpenSSL(rdp_check.py) and ldap3 (ntlmrelayx.py) - For ntlmrelayx.py you will also need
ldapdomaindump - If you're under Windows, you will need
pyReadline
- If you want to run the examples and you have Python < 2.7, you
will need to install the
- A recent release of Impacket.
In order to install the source execute the following command from the
directory where the Impacket's distribution has been unpacked: pip install .
This will install the classes into the default
Python modules path; note that you might need special permissions to
write there. For more information on what commands and options are
available from setup.py, run python setup.py --help-commands.
To install the dependencies for the examples, use either pip install -r requirements_examples.txt or
use pip install .[examples] from the location you unpacked Impacket.
