Pass-the-Hash

An attack technique where an attacker uses a stolen NTLM password hash to authenticate to a remote server without knowing the actual password. Windows networks are especially vulnerable because NTLM authentication accepts hashes directly. Attackers extract hashes from memory using tools like Mimikatz.
