NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication is a type of Windows-based authentication that is used to verify users logging onto a network. It is a challenge-response authentication protocol which requires users to provide a username and password that is then compared against a database of valid users. If the credentials match, the user is granted access. NTLM uses multiple hash iterations and cryptographic functions to create a secure authentication process.
