What is LM Password Hash


You want to prevent the LM hash for new passwords from being stored in Active Directory. The LM hash is susceptible to brute force attacks and is primarily used for backward compatibility with Windows 95 and 98 clients.

Solution
For Windows 2000, you need to create the following Registry key on all domain controllers: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\NoLMHash. Note that this is a key and not a value entry. Also, this is only supported on W2K SP2 and later domain controllers.

For Windows Server 2003, the NoLMHash key has turned into a DWORD value entry under the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa key. This value should be set to 1. You can accomplish this by modifying the Default Domain Controller Security Policy as described next.

Using a graphical user interface
1.Open the Group Policy Object Editor and target the Default Domain Controller Security Policy.

2.In the left pane, expand Local Policies → Security Options.

3.In the right pane, double-click on Network security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change.

4.Check the box beside Define this policy setting.

5.Click the Enabled radio button.

6.Click OK.

How Does VPN Work in network system?

  A VPN is a way to connect to the internet through an encrypted connection. When you access a website, upload data to an app or check your email, the VPN encrypts all your communications and sends them to a server run by the VPN provider, which then sends them on to their destination. That is useful for preserving your privacy when you don't trust the network you're on, whether it's an internet service provider or a Wi-Fi connection at an airport or coffee shop. You can also use a VPN to connect to a corporate network for work purposes. Many companies use this method to limit access to their internal networks to employees with VPN usernames and passwords and to encrypt their connections to work machines. How Does VPN Work? A VPN encrypts all the data you send from your computer across the internet, shapes it into specially formatted packets of data and sends them to the VPN server. The server has digital keys it can use to decrypt the data, but anybody else without these k

what are Internet Protocol-based cameras

  Network cameras, which are Internet Protocol-based cameras that transmit video data over a local area network (LAN), are becoming increasingly prevalent – especially in surveillance and security scenarios.  Windows now allows users to associate network cameras to their PC, enabling photo capture and streaming of video in camera applications. Currently Windows only supports ONVIF Profile S compliant cameras*, which are standards-compliant network cameras optimized for real-time streaming video capture. Note: The features discussed in this article are available with Windows 10, Insider Build 18995. Windows provides support for discovery, pairing, configuration and streaming via WinRT APIs. To discover network cameras connected to the local subnet, create a DeviceWatcher class and follow the instructions specified in this document, connect to remote cameras. Also find :   windows lan

set up a VPN or Proxy

When they ask me about a good VPN service, I don’t know what to say. The essence of all services is the same - hiding your IP and access to blocked resources. Someone does it better, and someone worse. As a result, the choice of service is reduced to the personal requirements of the questioner. I can only tell which service is worth a try. And in this article I will talk about ALTVPN. The name of the service stands for Alternative Secure Services, and in fact ALTVPN is an alternative VPN. Let's see why. On a separate page, you can get detailed instructions for installing ALTVPN on your device. I will not talk about manual configuration through PPTP or OpenVPN, everything is too individual here and requires experience. But ordinary users can download the application for their device. This setup takes literally half a minute. For example, on Windows, when starting the application, you just need to specify the user code, select the connection server and click the &qu
