Hi Miguel, This is what is in the hash: <username>:<userid>:<LM Hash>:<NTLM Hash>:<Gecos>:<home dir>:? I don't know what is supposed to be in the last one. Hope this helps. Cheers, Marc On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 9:40 PM, Hernandez IV, Miguel<miguelher () utep edu> wrote:
All, Looking for a reference that describes the format of the windows SAM file. From what I can tell, the first column is the username and third column is the password hash, but I want to know what information is contained in the other columns. Google searches on "format windows SAM file", "understand windows SAM file", and other related searches have proved frustrating. I should mention that the SAM file was obtained using pwdump6 in case that is relevant. The format I am seeing is as follows: Username:number:password hash:another hash?:blank:blank:blank Any help is much appreciated.
