    MY TEN FAVORITE QUOTES: Broad-mindedness, n.: The result of flattening high-
    mindedness out. There is a certain impertinence in allowing oneself to be
    burned for an opinion. All the good ones are taken. "Microwave oven? Whaddya
    mean, it's a microwave oven? I've been watching Channel 4 on the thing for two
    weeks." Murphy was an optimist. Love means having to say you're sorry every
    five minutes. No matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your defeats --
    approximately one billion Chinese couldn't care less. Get forgiveness now --
    tomorrow you may no longer feel guilty. Commitment can be illustrated by a
    breakfast of ham and eggs. The chicken was involved, the pig was committed.
    You are here ------> * But you're not all there. Kirkland, Illinois, law
    forbids bees to fly over the village or through any of its streets. Love and
    scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. A clairvoyant is a person, commonly a
    woman, who has the power of seeing that which is invisible to her patron --
    namely, that he is a blockhead. A multi-day event on public television, used
    to raise money so you won't have to watch commercials. Try to get all of
    your posthumous medals in advance. The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the
    needs of an expanding bureaucracy. The intelligence of any discussion
    diminishes with the square of the number of participants. The hearing ear is
    always found close to the speaking tongue, a custom whereof the memory of man
    runneth not howsomever to the contrary, nohow. Good advice is something a
    man gives when he is too old to set a bad example. -- La Rouchefoucauld
    Professor Gorden Newell threw another shutout in last week's Chem. Eng. 130
    midterm. Once again no student received a single point on his exam. Newell
    has now tossed 5 shutouts this quarter. Newell's earned exam average has now
    dropped to a phenomenal 30%"Consequences, Schmonsequences, as long as I'm
    rich." -- "Ali Baba Bunny" [1957, Chuck Jones] Marriage is the only adventure
    open to the cowardly. -- Voltaire The First Rule of Program Optimization:
    Don't do it. The Second Rule of Program Optimization (for experts only!):
    Don't do it yet. -- Michael Jackson Goldenstern's Rules: (1) Always hire a
    rich attorney (2) Never buy from a rich salesman. The problem ... is that we
    have run out of dinosaurs to form oil with. Scientists working for the
    Department of Energy have tried to form oil using other animals; they've
    piled thousands of tons of sand and Middle Eastern countries on top of cows,
    raccoons, haddock, laboratory rats, etc., but so far all they have managed to
    do is run up an enormous bulldozer-rental bill and anger a lot of Middle
    Eastern persons. None of the animals turned into oil, although most of the
    laboratory rats developed cancer. -- Dave Barry, "Postpetroleum Guzzler" If
    a 6600 used paper tape instead of core memory, it would use up tape at about
    30 miles/second. -- Grishman, Assembly Language Programming Peanut Blossoms 4
    cups sugar 16 tbsp. milk 4 cups brown sugar 4 tsp. vanilla 4 cups
    shortening 14 cups flour 8 eggs 4 tsp. soda 4 cups peanut butter 4 tsp.
    salt Shape dough into balls. Roll in sugar and bake on ungreased cookie
    sheet at 375 F. for 10-12 minutes. Immediately top each cookie with a
    Hershey's kiss or star pressing down firmly to crack cookie. Makes a hell of
    a lot. Gyroscope, n.: A wheel or disk mounted to spin rapidly about an axis
    and also free to rotate about one or both of two axes perpendicular to each
    other and the axis of spin so that a rotation of one of the two mutually
    perpendicular axes results from application of torque to the other when the
    wheel is spinning and so that the entire apparatus offers considerable
    opposition depending on the angular momentum to any torque that would change
    the direction of the axis of spin. -- Webster's Seventh New Collegiate
    Dictionary. In fifteen minutes, everyone will be famous. -- Andy Warhol

    What chilled and almost cowed him was the
    union of malice with something nearly childish. For temptation, for blasphemy, for a whole battery of
    horrors, he was in some sort prepared: but hardly for this petty, indefatigable nagging as of a nasty little
    boy at a preparatory school. Indeed no imagined horror could have surpassed the sense which grew

  25. Re:And this is important because? on NTLM 100% Broken Using Hashes Derived From Captures · · Score: 2

    NTLM, you COULD go to Wikipedia - failing all else.

    This is the name for Microsoft's 2nd generation authentication protocol - for issuing challenges and responses related to encrypted passwords as a shared secret. The passwords are hashed with a salt, and the value compared with the known password, by the authentication service. This is a variant introduced by Windows NT on the LAN Manger scheme - cooked up in the remote past by MS and IBM, based on Ungerman-Bass software.

    This is important, because LM and NTLM are trivial to ether crack or spoof. Backwards compatbility was the bugbear for NTLM. v2 addresses many of the issues - but is relatively recent. Every XP / Server 2003 era machine sends the old-style hashes, as a part of Auth handshake sequences.

    It's now been demonstrated that this is not a trivial matter - that the hash may be derived simply by performing computation on the artifacts for challenge and response. Then a legitimate hash can be injected by an attacker, in standard "pass-the-hash" fashion.
