If a security consultant comes across a password hash that resembles the following: b117525b345470c29ca3d8ac0b556ba8 Which of the following formats is the correct hash type?

Kerberos uses ticket-based authentication and does not produce simple standalone 32-character hex hashes in this format.

NetNTLMv1 is a challenge-response authentication protocol format that includes additional fields such as username, challenge, and response - it is not a standalone 32-character hex string.

NTLM hashes are generated using the MD4 hashing algorithm and produce a 32-character hexadecimal string representing a 128-bit value. The hash b117525b345470c29ca3d8ac0b556ba8 is exactly 32 hex characters long, which precisely matches the NTLM NT hash format that Windows uses for storing and transmitting password credentials.

SHA-1 produces a 40-character hexadecimal string representing a 160-bit output, which is longer than the 32-character hash shown in the question.
