NTLM V1 and V2 Differentiation Against Kerbero | CalCom Software

Kerberos, NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 are the three different authentication protocols. These protocols seek to improve security, especially in the Active Directory environment. Authentication protocols are widely used in attack techniques. They might facilitate the access and privilege-escalation of intruders. So it's important to choose the most trustworthy protocol and be aware of its shortcomings. The underlying fact that the NTLMv1 protocol is the oldest of the three is shown when NTLM v1 and v2 are compared to Kerberos. NTLMv2 offers a few minor security-enhancing upgrades. The authentication process using Kerberos is significantly more complex and secure. AUTHENTICATION of NTLMV1: NTLM was made by Microsoft. Both current and vintage Windows versions are compatible with it (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, N.T 4.0). The NTLM authentication protocol uses a challenge-response mechanism. A user connects on to a client computer using a domain name, username, and password. The client co...
