CEH-001 Exam Dumps : Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)

There are a number of tools that can be used to perform a zone transfer. Some of these include: NSLookup, Host, Dig, and Sam Spade.

The LM hash is computed as follows.

1. The user’s password as an OEM string is converted to uppercase.

2. This password is either null-padded or truncated to 14 bytes.

3. The “fixed-length” password is split into two 7-byte halves.

4. These values are used to create two DES keys, one from each 7-byte half.

5. Each of these keys is used to DES-encrypt the constant ASCII string “KGS!@#$%”, resulting in two 8-byte ciphertext values.

6. These two ciphertext values are concatenated to form a 16-byte value, which is the LM hash.

The hashes them self are sent in clear text over the network instead of sending the password in clear text.
