polenum is a Python script which uses the Impacket Library from CORE Security Technologies to extract the password policy information from a windows machine. This allows a non-windows (Linux, Mac OSX, BSD etc..) user to query the password policy of a remote windows box without the need to have access to a windows machine.
Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.
Getting started
Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install polenum`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
