@Simon

Also one more thing i need some reference From "LM DES".Is this correct
documentation regarding its implementaion?

   1. The user’s ASCII <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII> password is
   converted to uppercase <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppercase>.
   2. This password is null-padded to 14 bytes.
   3. The “fixed-length” password is split into two seven-byte halves.
   4. These values are used to create two
DES<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard>keys, one
from each 7-byte half, by converting the seven bytes into a bit
   stream, and inserting a null bit after every seven bits (so 1010100becomes
   01010100). This generates the 64 bits needed for a DES key. (A DES key
   ostensibly consists of 64 bits; however, only 56 of these are actually used
   by the algorithm. The null bits added in this step are later discarded.)
   5. Each of the two keys is used to DES-encrypt the constant
ASCII<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII>string “
   KGS!@#$%”, resulting in two 8-byte ciphertext values. The DES CipherMode
   should be set to ECB, and PaddingMode should be set to NONE.
   6. These two ciphertext values are concatenated to form a 16-byte value,
   which is the LM hash.

Specially step 5.Is this correct?

Thanks
