GitHub Stats
About Impacket
Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols, essential for Windows and Active Directory pentesting. It provides low-level programmatic access to protocols like SMB, RDP, and LDAP, enabling the development of custom network tools and exploitation scripts. Impacket's extensive support for protocol manipulation makes it a critical resource for security researchers and penetration testers targeting Windows-based environments.
About Rubeus
Rubeus is a C# toolset for raw Kerberos interaction and abuses. It's the go-to tool for Kerberos-based attacks in Active Directory environments. Rubeus supports AS-REP roasting, Kerberoasting, unconstrained/constrained/resource-based constrained delegation abuse, S4U ticket requests, ticket extraction and renewal, and golden/silver ticket creation. It can be loaded reflectively in memory, making it a staple of modern AD attack chains.
