# Enumerate NTLMv1

{% hint style="warning" %}
You need at least local admin privilege on the remote target, use option **--local-auth** if your user is a local account
{% endhint %}

Enumerate the LmCompatibilityLevel on the remote target via the remote registry:

```bash
nxc smb <ip> -u user -p password -M ntlmv1
SMB         <ip>   445    <FQDN>            [*] Windows 10 / Server 2019 Build 17763 x64 (name:<FQDN>) (domain:<FQDN>) (signing:False) (SMBv1:None)
SMB         <ip>   445    <FQDN>            [+] <FQDN>\user:password (Pwn3d!)
NTLMV1      <ip>   445    <FQDN>            NTLMv1 allowed on: <ip> - LmCompatibilityLevel = 2
```

Outgoing NTLMv1 connections are enabled when the target’s LmCompatibilityLevel is lower than 3.
