Wait, did you say 'password hashing'? I thought we were talking about encryption algorithms. This test is really messing with my brain.

You know, if this was a real exam, I'd be tempted to just put 'all of the above' and see if the professor has a sense of humor.

Hold up, isn't NTLMv2 that old Windows authentication thing? In that case, it's definitely gotta be DES (ECB mode). Blast from the past!

Nah, MD5 is way too outdated for something like NTLMv2. It's probably AES, that's the industry standard these days.

Yeah, AES is definitely the way to go for NTLMv2.

I think it's D) RC5 because it's a strong encryption algorithm.

But MD5 is commonly used for hashing passwords, so it makes sense for NTLMv2.

I think it's gotta be MD5. That's the classic go-to hash for passwords, right?
