You can submit only 'domain\user' and 'password'. In AD
domains you can often use 'user () domain tld' as well for
the username (in addition to the password). I do not
recall ever having to submit domain-field exclusively.

You are correct, this is a result of server-side
configurations done to IIS to enable 'integrated auth'.
It has been called "integrated authentication" for
quite some time...at least prior to IIS 4 IIRC.

You should be able to brute this just fine with Brutus,
Hydra, look at Cain & Able as well, but you will have
to prepend 'domain\' to your username dictionary entries.

For more, google for Amit Klein's papers on NTLM over
HTTP and his papers will also link to some of the
work at decomposing the specification for NTLM.

-ae

For what it is worth, the current (source only) version of WebScarab available on my personal website can do NTLM authentication, as well as scripting arbitrary multi-threaded requests using the Scripted plugin.

Combining these two features, you can implement your own brute force scripts. The key to brute forcing NTLM using WebScarab is to know that if you specify a Authorization header of "NTLM base64(domain\user:password)", WebScarab will automatically decompose that and use those credentials in an NTLM handshake before sending the request.

This form of authentication is a Microsoft proprietary extension to http that apparently uses some kind of challenge response it was called NTML
but in IIS 6 was rebranded Integrated Windows Authentication.

The previous technote provides some information. It does not go into
protocol implementation details but will give you a bit more info to
know what to ask google.
As to how to brute force test it, I would recommend getting a bute
forcer that supports that protocol.

In doing pen tests against various configurations of OWA, I have seen
two major flavors. One, you receive the standard authentication request
for a username and password.  In those cases if you have a specific
domain you can prepend it to the domain name.  Other times you see the
request for a username, password and domain name as three separate
inputs.  In the second case can I prepend the domain name to the login
name, or am I required to enter all 3 pieces of information separately?


Am I correct in assuming that the choice of which form of authentication
you receive is set by the administrator?  If I have to enter all 3
pieces of information separately, does anyone know of a tool to do this? Brutus/Hydra....tried both and neither has the option of specifying the
domain name as part of the brute force attempt.
