HOWTOs :: LM NT algorithm in PHP

problem

Need to implement the Windows LM and NT ancryption algorithm in PHP for an application I'm writing.

analysis

I found that Samba's mkntpwd has been deprecated as of 2004-04-07. However, it it still available here:
http://www.demog.berkeley.edu/~aperrin/tips/src/mkntpwd.tar.gz.

I didn't want to use a binary for my PHP app, so I ended up using PHPLDAPAdmin's createlm.php.

example

Here follows a code example on how to use it:

<? ... /** * Import the createLM class from PHP LDAP ADMIN */ include_once('createlm.php'); $strPassword = "my password here"; // Generate hash pair echo "NT hash generated : " . $smbhash->nthash( $strPassword ); echo "LM hash generated : " . $smbhash->lmhash( $strPassword ); ... ?>
