SYNOPSIS
impacket-tool [options] [target]
DESCRIPTION
Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols. It includes numerous tools for penetration testing, particularly useful for Windows network attacks and assessments.
The toolkit provides implementations of SMB, MSRPC, Kerberos, LDAP, and other protocols commonly used in Windows environments.
COMMON TOOLS
$ psexec Remote command execution via SMB
wmiexec Remote execution via WMI
smbexec Remote execution via SMB
secretsdump Dump SAM/NTDS secrets
getTGT Get Kerberos TGT
GetNPUsers AS-REP roasting
GetUserSPNs Kerberoasting
ntlmrelayx NTLM relay attacks
wmiexec Remote execution via WMI
smbexec Remote execution via SMB
secretsdump Dump SAM/NTDS secrets
getTGT Get Kerberos TGT
GetNPUsers AS-REP roasting
GetUserSPNs Kerberoasting
ntlmrelayx NTLM relay attacks
AUTHENTICATION FORMATS
$ domain/user:password
domain/user:LMhash:NThash
domain/user@target -k (Kerberos)
domain/user:LMhash:NThash
domain/user@target -k (Kerberos)
CAVEATS
For authorized testing only. May trigger security alerts. Requires Python. Some tools need local admin on target. Windows Defender may detect tools.
HISTORY
Impacket was created by SecureAuth (now part of Delinea). It's widely used in penetration testing and red team operations for Windows network exploitation.
