Issue #9326 has been updated by Josh Cooper.

Estimated time changed from 8.00 to 24.00

Some background about this issue. On Windows, the LM/NT hashes are not salted, 
e.g. the NT hash is the MD4(Unicode-LE(password)). There are various "tools" 
that can pass the hash, notably 
[iam.exe](http://oss.coresecurity.com/pshtoolkit/doc/index.html), which can 
impersonate a user given only their LM/NT hash. Since the password and hash 
have nearly equivalent privacy requirements, the Security Accounts Manager goes 
to great lengths to protect hashes. However, there are tools that enable 
getting and setting the hashes (http://www.pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd).
