Impacket-install

Installing Impacket:

• Whether you're on the Kali 2019.3 or Kali 2021.1, Impacket can be a pain to install correctly. Here's some instructions that may help you install it correctly!

• First, you will need to clone the Impacket Github repo onto your box. The following command will clone Impacket into /opt/impacket:

git clone https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket.git /opt/impacket

After the repo is cloned, you will notice several install related files, requirements.txt, and setup.py. A commonly skipped file during the installation is setup.py

• This actually installs Impacket onto your system so you can use it and not have to worry about any dependencies.

• To install the Python requirements for Impacket:

pip3 install -r /opt/impacket/requirements.txt

• Once the requirements have finished installing, we can then run the python setup install script:

cd /opt/impacket/ && python3 ./setup.py install

• After that, Impacket should be correctly installed now and it should be ready to use!

• If you are still having issues, you can try the following script and see if this works:

sudo git clone https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket.git /opt/impacket
sudo pip3 install -r /opt/impacket/requirements.txt
cd /opt/impacket/ 
sudo pip3 install .
sudo python3 setup.py install
