Which one of the following authentication mechanisms is most susceptible to pass-the-hash attacks?
A. Kerberos
B. SAML
C. NTLM
D. Shibboleth
Correct Answer: C
Pass the hash attacks do not affect the Kerberos authentication system and they are also not likely found in the technologies supporting federation, such as the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), or Shibboleth. The NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication system used in some Windows-based networks is particularly susceptible to pass-the-hash attacks, so that’s our correct answer.
