1. NTLM authentication is a user authentication protocol used in the Windows NT family of operating

 

systems.

 

NTLM uses a challenge/response method, and operates in such a way that the password is not

 

sent across the network in clear text. In Windows 2000, this protocol can also be used to maintain

 

compatibility between client and server.
