('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hello list!
Sometime ago I was wondering if it is possible to
capture the authentication packets sent from a Windows Workstation to the PDC and then crack the password. I've setup this scenario in the lab environment and sniffer these packets, but did'n find any referece about cracking the password.. Any one knows how the authentication works, and if it can be broken??

best regards
