Impacket
Impacket is a Python network protocol library and low-level implementation foundation. It provides a collection of classes for implementing and manipulating network protocols such as SMB, TCP, and UDP.
The project serves as a network authentication framework for verifying user identities using passwords, hashes, and security tickets. It also functions as a network packet manipulation toolkit and security research tool for analyzing protocol behaviors and identifying vulnerabilities.
The library covers the creation, parsing, and modification of raw network data to analyze communication stacks. It enables the implementation of network protocols to send and receive data between devices.
