What it does

Impacket is a collection of Python classes and ready-to-run scripts (psexec.py, secretsdump.py, and more) for working with SMB, Kerberos, and MSRPC. It's foundational to most Active Directory attacks.

Common use cases

  • Dump domain hashes remotely via secretsdump.py for offline cracking and lateral movement.
  • Execute commands on remote Windows hosts using psexec.py with valid administrative credentials.
  • Perform Kerberos attacks including AS-REP roasting, Kerberoasting, and delegation abuse.

Key features

  • Collection of 30+ ready-to-run scripts for AD and Windows protocol attacks.
  • Supports SMB, Kerberos, MSRPC, LDAP, and WMI protocol implementations.
  • Includes psexec, wmiexec, smbexec, and atexec for remote command execution.
  • Actively maintained with broad compatibility across modern Windows versions.
