The hash is not case sensitive, everything is pushed to uppercase.
As for the 142 Chars I know it supports 0-9,A-Z,special chars, and
some Alt-ASCII characters but I don't know to what extent.

Hi,
Lan Manager (LM) is one of the oldest authentication protocols that Microsoft
has used. It was first introduced with Windows 3.11 and is not very secureThe
hash is case-insensitive.
* The character set is limited to 142 characters.
* The hash is broken down into 2-7 character chunks. If the password is
shorter than 14 characters, the password will be padded with nulls to get the
password to 14 characters.
* The hash result is a 128-bit value.
* The hash is one-way function.
Does anyone know which 142-character set is used?
Thanks in advance,
Cedric
