Talk:LAN Manager

Merger with LM hash proposal

The LM hash algorithm is the cryptographic algorithm used by LANMAN. Most of "LM hash" deals with its cryptanalysis and "LAN Manager" has a duplicate summary of the security vulnerability.

Both articles are small enough to be merged and since it is old technology they probably wont expand too much. The merger will also maintain consistency with NT LAN Manager since the protocol and its algorithms can all be found on the same page. I think that's what we should do here. --M4t3uz (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

It seems LM Hash is also used with Windows 7 maybe newer OSs. Should be mentioned in the article. http://digital-forensics.sans.org/blog/2012/02/29/protecting-privileged-domain-accounts-lm-hashes-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly--193.100.62.29 (talk) 14:14, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Effective strength

“This makes the effective strength of a 14-characters password equal to only $95^{8}$, or twice that of a 7-character password”

How do you get $95^{8}$? Shouldn’t that be $2\times 95^{7}\approx 95^{7.15}$? Which still is far from the true strength because of the case folding. 2001:14BB:140:189C:69BC:585C:711C:AD15 (talk) 11:11, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
