  23. Re:Doesn't this fall under physical-access? on Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw · · Score: 1

    No, Physical access is not needed.

    Windows 9x machines use a old authentication method. If you have a Windows 9x machine then a machine can sniff password hashes from the network and recover the password.

    If you have WinXP/Win2000/Win2003 machines only then recovery by the described method is not possible.

  24. Only works with NTMLv1, NTLM v2 not effected. on Swiss Researchers Exploit Windows Password Flaw · · Score: 5, Informative

    This only works with NTML v1. Not with NTML v2.

    In order to prevent this
    Using secpol.mmc,
    in you security pocilies set the LAN manager authentication level to 'NTLMv2 response only refuse LM & NTLM'

    The passwords are only crackable if you have Win 9x machines in your doamin.

    If you have Windows 2000/2003 domain without Win 9x machines then you passwords cannot be recovered.

    Admins can prevent Windows 9x machines from logging in to the network.

    This is reason enough to migrate to Windows XP.
