!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([NT hash]) of the [password] is calculated by using an unsalted [MD4] [hash algorithm|Hash Function].
%%warning
The security of [MD4] and therefore [{$pagename}] has been __severely__ compromised and is considered [Cryptographically Weak] and lacks [Collision Resistance].
%%
[{$pagename}], introduced in [Windows Server NT] 4.0 SP4, is a [password-based] [challenge-response Authentication Mechanism].
[{$pagename}] is intended as a cryptographically strengthened replacement for [NTLMv1].
[{$pagename}] was natively supported in [Windows Server 2000], enhances [NTLM] security by hardening the protocol against many spoofing attacks, and adding the ability for a server to authenticate to the client.
[{$pagename}] sends two responses to an 8-byte server challenge.
Each response contains a 16-byte [HMAC-MD5] hash of the server challenge, a fully/partially randomly generated client challenge, and an [HMAC-MD5] hash of the user's [password] and other identifying information.
The two responses differ in the format of the client challenge. The shorter response uses an 8-byte random value for this challenge.
In order to verify the response, the server must receive as part of the response the client challenge.
For this shorter response, the 8-byte client challenge appended to the 16-byte response makes a 24-byte package which is consistent with the 24-byte response format of the previous [NTLMv1] protocol. In certain non-official documentation (e.g. DCE/RPC Over SMB, Leighton) this response is termed LMv2.
