Impacket
Impacket is a Python network protocol library and packet crafting framework used for constructing, modifying, and sending raw network packets. It functions as a network protocol manipulation toolkit that allows for the implementation of communication protocols through structured object models.
The project provides a Windows network security toolkit specifically designed for interacting with Active Directory and SMB services. It enables network security testing and auditing of Windows environments by executing authentication sequences using passwords, hashes, tickets, or security keys.
The library covers broad capabilities in network packet manipulation and custom protocol development. It provides the means to implement and alter low-level protocol behavior to analyze how network services respond under different conditions.
