LANMAN
NTLM (NT LAN Manager) uses the MD4 hash algorithm for hashing passwords. When a user sets a password, NTLM computes an MD4 hash of the UTF-16LE encoded password. This hash is then stored in the Security Account Manager (SAM) database. However, due to its vulnerabilities, NTLM is considered weak and has largely been replaced by more secure authentication protocols like Kerberos.
NTLM Hash is more secure than LM Hash. It was actually replaced by Windows with NTLM. NTLM is case sensitive; so it matters how passwords are typed, its character set is 65,535, and it does not limit stored passwords to two 7- character parts. NTLM is considered a much stronger hashing algorithm. Just make sure passwords stored are more than 14 characters and you will be fine. Now Unix and Linux are probably a more stable OS because they use "salt" Windows LM and NTLM does not.

kerberos version 5 NTLM protocols are used by AD
Four types of authentication are used: (1) Kerberos and NTLM network logon for remote access to a server in another forest (2) Kerberos and NTLM interactive logon for physical logon outside the user's home forest (3) Kerberos delegation to N-tier application in another forest (4) UPN credentials.
The string you provided appears to be a hash or encoded value, likely related to a password or cryptographic function. Specifically, the "aad3b435b51404ee" part suggests that it may be associated with the MD4 hashing algorithm, commonly used in Windows NTLM password hashing. To decode or retrieve the original password, you would typically need to use a rainbow table or brute force attack, as these hashes are designed to be one-way and secure against direct decoding. However, unauthorized access to hashed data is illegal and unethical.
NTLMV, or NT LAN Manager Version, is a Microsoft authentication protocol used in network environments to provide secure authentication for users and services. It is part of the NTLM authentication suite, which is primarily used in Windows operating systems. NTLMV is considered less secure than more modern protocols like Kerberos, as it is vulnerable to various types of attacks, including pass-the-hash attacks. Despite its limitations, NTLMV is still used in legacy systems for compatibility purposes.
NTLM AND kerberos Microsoft adopted Kerberos as the preferred authentication protocol for Windows 2000 and subsequent Active Directory domains.[5] Kerberos is typically used when a server belongs to a Windows Server domain, or if a trust relationship with a Windows Server Domain is established in some other way (such as Linux to Windows AD authentication).[citation needed] NTLM is still used in the following situations: * The client is authenticating to a server using an IP address. * The client is authenticating to a server that belongs to a different Active Directory forest that has a legacy NTLM trust instead of a transitive inter-forest trust * The client is authenticating to a server that doesn't belong to a domain. * No Active Directory domain exists (commonly referred to as "workgroup" or "peer-to-peer"). * Where a firewall would otherwise restrict the ports required by Kerberos (of which there are quite a few) In Windows Vista and above, neither LM nor NTLM are used by default[citation needed]. NTLM is still supported for inbound authentication, but for outbound authentication a newer version of NTLM, called NTLMv2, is sent by default instead. Prior versions of Windows (back as far as Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4) could be configured to behave this way, but it was not the default.
