**mssqlclient-ng: A Powerful Tool for Interacting with Microsoft SQL Server**

The world of cybersecurity just got a whole lot easier with the release of mssqlclient-ng on PyPI. This enhanced version of impacket's mssqlclient.py is designed to interact with Microsoft SQL Server (MS SQL / MSSQL) servers and their linked instances, making it an essential tool for security professionals.

One of the standout features of mssqlclient-ng is its ability to impersonate any account encountered along the way without requiring complex T-SQL queries. This means that users can interact with MS SQL servers and their linked instances seamlessly, without having to worry about the intricacies of SQL syntax.

But that's not all - mssqlclient-ng also supports NTLM relaying, making it an invaluable resource for security researchers and penetration testers. And if you're working in a restricted environment where only access to a MS SQL instance through your implant/beacon is available, fear not! MSSQLand, the C# version built with assembly execution in mind, has got you covered.

To get started with mssqlclient-ng, simply install it using pip, pip3 or pipx. We recommend using pipx as it installs Python applications in isolated virtual environments, ensuring that your system remains secure and organized.

So how do you use mssqlclient-ng? The format is simple: specify the server, port (optional), user@database, and any combination of the above separated by commas. For example: `localhost -c token createuser -p p@ssword!`. Note that the host and action are positional arguments, while all flags use a prefix of `-`.

One of the most powerful features of mssqlclient-ng is its ability to handle linked servers chains with the `-l` argument. This means you can focus on the big picture without having to manually specify RPC Out or OPENQUERY calls. Simply let the tool do the work for you!

And don't forget - contributions are welcome and appreciated! Whether it's fixing bugs, adding new features, improving documentation, or sharing feedback, your input is valued and makes a difference. Open-source thrives on collaboration and recognition, so don't be shy to get involved.
