Does anyone know of a tool or script out there that

used on IIS or ISA server. 

I know IE explorer is the only browser that supports
this auth method. Does anyone have any papers or link
on how exactly it works? Is it just tunnelled using
HTTP? Or does it use windows auth ports like TCP 139
etc?

Details on NTLM can be found at:

libntlm can be found at:

download: ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/ntlm/libntlm-0.21.tar.gz  

There is also a tools called 'NTLM Authorization Proxy Server' which could be modified and used as a brute force tool. 
Implementation is in Python.

I started working on a brute force tool for basic/md5/ntlm some time ago, but I just don't have time to play with it at 
this moment (and at least   
for another month). 

Hope this helps.
