Not sure what Kind of Hash you have?
There are several different types of hashes that you will run into when you start cracking passwords. We covered Kerberos tickets in depth in the first chapter. But some of the most confusing ones are the different Windows hashes. Let’s try to explain these really quick.
➢ LM Hash – Outdated password hash that goes back to the old Lan Manager days. LM hashes are no longer stored by default, but you might still find them creeping about.
➢ NTLM Hash – Comprised of the LM hash and NT Hash (NTHash), separated by a colon. This is what you will find when you dump passwords from a Windows SAM Database or a Domain Controller’s database. NTLM Hashes can be passed in “Pass the Hash” type attacks.
➢ NTLMv1 or NTLMv2 – These are challenge response hashes, NTLMv2 is more secure. You will capture these hashes...
