No need to look... I'm quite familiar with Urity's work ;) He spoke just
before I did at a Blackhat conference a while back... We had dinner together
(I think that was then... Rika translated for us...) and discussed it a bit.

The presentation at BH Windows 2002 is more relevant than Tokyo, actually...
In 2004 he discussed the NTLM2 response key-- that is not the same as the
NTLMv2 challenge/response exchange... I may tend to be a bit pedantic
sometimes, but I think it is important to be accurate when discussing
security matters, particularly in the realm of authentication protocols.
Since you said "NTLMv2" broke the hash into "chunks," I thought it proper to
correct that statement. NTLMv2's challenges and responses are all 128 bit,
linear keys.

I'm not sure what you mean... NTLMv2 uses a single 128bit key for the
hash,
challenge and response... Or are you referring to the NTLM2 session
response key (56+56+16)? If so, that is not the same thing as NTLMv2...
Can
you elaborate please ?
