looking for a good walk through of installing impacket on kali linux. having a hard time installing it using SecureAuthCorp website
kali@kali:~/impacket$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “setup.py”, line 8, in
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools
any help is appreciated.
Try “pip install impacket”
If you don’t have pip installed, see here. This page has moved - pip documentation v23.0

GOOD!
My notes below worked on the 2020 version of Kali:
sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip
cd /opt
sudo git clone GitHub - fortra/impacket: Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols.
cd impacket
pip3 install . ← note the space and period at the end
sudo python3 setup.py install

Thanks. I was able to get going with new PIP install. Attention to detail 
@DarkSkies - Thanks!
Greetings made all the process which references and not working and had this responce
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “42315.py”, line 2, in
from impacket import smb, smbconnection
ImportError: No module named impacket
was working on blue MS17-010
I still have this issue. It’s really annoying the ■■■■ out of me.
I even re-downloaded a new Kali VBOX image and tried for instance:
searchsploit -m 40279.py
I tried all variations I could come up with (pip, pip3, python, python2, python3), I redownloaded impacket from bitbucket, tried to install from there (pip install .), tried some pycryptodome advice from this forum, but whatever I try I end up with:
python40279.py
Install the following library to make this script work
Impacket : http://oss.coresecurity.com/projects/impacket.html
PyCrypto : http://www.amk.ca/python/code/crypto.html
If I try pip install pycrypto or pip install impacket it’s already satisfied.
Any advice? It’s kinda frustrating that the first thing I’m trying on the first box on the “Archetype” hello-world box ends up in this drama… 
Ok so you probably already have impacket installed but its just not working from whatever directory you are in, I had the same problem. After moving to its directory with cd /usr/share/doc/python3-impacket/examples. I was able to sudo python3 secretsdump.py <example_command> without problems however when not using sudo it gave errors in parrot os. Hope this helps. You can also type locate secretsdump.py or any other impacket module and easily move to its location to run it there if for some reason its not working.
@DarkSkies @cdizzle Thanks!!
guys have the same issue with Legacy:
python send_and_execute.py 10.10.10.4 payload.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “send_and_execute.py”, line 2, in
from impacket import smb, smbconnection
ImportError: No module named impacket
cant freaking understand how to fix this!
install older impacket version on Python 2.
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py
python2 get-pip.py
pip2 install pip install impacket==0.9.22
