Does anyone know what algorithm Microsoft are using for password encryption on Windows NT ? I've just been to a talk and told it was a proprietry 1-way algorithm, but not DES based (so as to avoid US export laws).
The export laws dont apply to 1-way DES hashing. You can even export the source as long as there are #ifdef's that make shure it doesn't decrypt anything. brad
