Impacket

A strong Python library created for interfacing with network protocols is called Impacket. Impacket is a network protocol implementation tool that was first developed by SecureAuth and is currently maintained by Fortra's Core Security. It focuses on giving low-level programmatic access to packets and other network protocols. It allows for the creation and processing of packets and provides an object-oriented API for interacting with complex protocol hierarchies. The library also has tools as examples of what may be done practically using its features.

Impacket is a potent Python library developed for network protocol interaction. Initially created by SecureAuth and currently maintained by Fortra's Core Security, Impacket places its emphasis on delivering low-level programmatic access to network packets and protocol implementations across a range of network protocols. It facilitates the construction and parsing of packets and provides an object-oriented API that simplifies working with complex protocol hierarchies. Additionally, the library includes practical tools that serve as examples of what can be achieved using its capabilities.
