Python for Network Forensics 1.5: Introduction to Impacket

This video tutorial covers the use of Impacket for creating Python tools in network forensics. It begins with an introduction to Impacket, including setup instructions and a review of basic Python structure. The tutorial then demonstrates how to read and decode packet captures using Impacket, focusing on extracting source and destination IPs and ports. The video concludes with a comparison of Impacket and Scapy, encouraging viewers to explore both tools for their specific needs.
