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.
A description of some of the tools can be found at SecureAuth Labs' Open Source Website.
- 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.

In order to grab the latest stable release with pip run:
python3 -m pip install impacket
ℹ️ This will make the Impacket library available to your Python code, but will not provide you with the example scripts.
In order to install the library and the example scripts, download and extract the package, and execute the following command from the directory where the Impacket's release has been unpacked:
python3 -m pip install .
ℹ️ This will install the library into the default Python modules path, where you can make use of the example scripts from the directory.
⚠️ Make sure the example scripts you're using are consistent with the library version that's installed in your python environment. We recommend using virtual environments to make sure system-wide installations doesn't interfere with it.
Build Impacket's image:
$ docker build -t "impacket:latest" .
Using Impacket's image:
$ docker run -it --rm "impacket:latest"
The library leverages the pytest framework for organizing and marking test cases, tox to automate the process of running them across supported Python versions, and coverage to obtain coverage statistics.
A comprehensive testing guide is available.
