Impacket was originally created by SecureAuth, and now maintained by Fortra's Core Security.

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.

• 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.
