CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 140

A file contains several hashes. Which of the following can be used in a pass-the-hash attack?

Answer options

• A. NTLMv2
• B. Kerberos
• C. NTLMv1
• D. LMv2
• E. NTLM

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is NTLM, as it is susceptible to pass-the-hash attacks due to its design. NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 provide some enhancements, but they are not typically used in this specific context. Kerberos is a different authentication protocol that does not use hashes in the same manner, making it irrelevant to this type of attack.
