🪟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/NetExec

Restart your command line and you should be able to execute NetExec:

NetExec
