-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Microsoft has source code available for creating your own version of passfilt.dll. I will highly recommend doing this if you do not want to purchase third-party software. Additionally you should implement the various recommendations given by Microsoft and others concerning issues like LM/NTLM hash storage, using LM/NTLMNTLMv2 across the network, the saving of cached logon credentials on servers and workstations etc.
