Contributions summary:Saurabh's contributions focused on fixing a critical authentication issue within the `impacket` library. The commits primarily address a bug where passwords containing the "@" symbol break authentication, a common delimiter in impacket scripts. The changes involve modifying several example scripts, specifically `wmiexec.py`, `secretsdump.py`, `psexec.py` and `mssqlclient.py`, to correctly handle passwords with the "@" character. This fix ensures proper functionality of the impacket scripts for penetration testing and security audits.
