FWIW, both "file://" and "\\" work here. Gotta love Outlook and IE. ;)

Rather than sniffing the LM/NTLMv1 exchange, you can also setup your own
SMB service that just logs the data. I've posted my modification to
Samba which uses a fixed challenge to do this here:

http://www.foofus.net/jmk/smbchallenge.html

Using a fixed challenge makes RainbowCrack feasible for this attack.
Even without a fixed value, though, John and Cain can be used to brute
the challenge/response pair.

My assumption is that NTLMv2 is also vulnerable to this attack. The
introduction of a client challenge does limit us to brute-force password
cracking. Probably wouldn't take much to hack logging of the NTLMv2
exchange into Samba.
