Installation for Windows
Using Python and pipx
If Python is available it is recommended to install NetExec with pipx
For Windows, git and Rust are required for installation. If you can't install either of these, see below for a standalone executable.
Set up git, Rust and C++: https://git-scm.com/download/win https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/de/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Install pipx and install NetExec directly from the repository:
pip install pipx
python -m pipx ensurepath
python -m pipx install git+https://github.com/Pennyw0rth/NetExecRestart your command line and you should be able to execute NetExec:
