Re: LM Hash Storage -- check?

Guess not.  Would be mighty useful:

Disabling the storage of the LM Hash may not be applied properly on all PCs
-- would be great to identify those.

Retrieving the hash would confirm that.  Doing so in Nessus would allow it
to be incorporated into regular scanning processes.

Been doing a lot of research on the Pass the Hash type attacks, and their
maturation lately.  Between bacK|Track, core's PTH toolkit, anyone with
physical access to a machine in your network can quickly leverage it to
elevate their access.  Identifying at-risk PCs would be nice.

My 2 cents.  If anyone undertakes the writing of this -- if it's possible --
would love to hear about it/test it out.

Thanks,
Mike
