Group Policy sends LAN Manager or NTLMv1 responses (T1557, T1550.002)
This policy lets computers send LAN Manager or NTLMv1 responses when they authenticate to other systems.
Why it matters
These responses can be cracked or relayed, which gives an attacker on the network the account's password or a session as that account.
How GraphnAI finds it
It runs after every sync, on each connected domain or tenant on its own. It applies to Active Directory.
It reads:
- The directory attributes
gPLink,gPOptions,flags,userAccountControl,accountEnabledanddistinguishedName - The Group Policy files the Identity Bridge reads from SYSVOL
Tiered Fidelity™ level: Theoretical
Every finding from this check carries the Theoretical level.
- TheoreticalThis checkConfigured in the directory. Nothing else checked.
- ConstrainedA constraint on it has been checked.
- ValidatedTelemetry has seen it in use.
Why there's no automatic fix
GraphnAI can't edit Group Policy settings. Change this setting in Group Policy Management.
How to fix it
Set 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level' to at least 'Send NTLMv2 response only'.
