nthash
Generate NT Hash
The NT hash is used by Microsoft and others for authentication. This
program nthash converts the standard input to UTF16 (little endian)
and applies the MD4 hash algorithm. This resulting 32 byte string is
printed to standard out.
Requirements
To compile and run ntash you need:
Additionally it is expected to have make and pkg-config around to
successfully compile.
Some systems may require additional development packages for the libraries.
Look for nettle-dev or similar.
Build and install
Building and installing is very easy. Just run:
make
followed by:
make install
This will place an executable at /usr/bin/nthash.
Usage
Just feed nthash with the password on standard input. Please not that
nthash does not strip new lines from input. You may want to use echo
with option -n:
$ echo -n test | nthash
