Impacket – collection of Python classes for working with network protocols

  • I was a professional penetration tester focusing on network security for a couple of years and Impacket was an Essential piece of tooling that I used constantly. The "examples" folder in this repo contains enough utility that you could successfully pwn a bunch of windows environments with no other tools.

  • How does this compare to scapy? From my quick look at the examples, it seems similar. Are there places where I would use one versus the other?

  • The readme says All rights reserved.But the license file is the apache license with the names swapped. That seems like a contradiction. I almost closed the tab immediately when I read the readme.
