As far as I know MS-NLMP is the only document that talks about AV
pairs in details.
So in case of raw ntlmv2, where there is not exchange of negotiate, response,
authenticate messages like in ntlmssp auth mech, which document stands/states
what should be the contents of the blob, specifically which AV pairs can exist?
