Windows NetLM Downgrade Attack
Description
This module changes the system LmCompatibilityLevel registry value to enable sending LM challenge hashes and initiates a SMB connection to the host specified in the SMBHOST module option. If an SMB server is listening, it will receive the NetLM hashes for the session user.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
