It's really lame - you look at the length of the NT response :-)  > 24
means NTLMv2

Yes, but doing a second session setup.  It is done often, particularly
on Win2k Terminal Servers, where that new connection can access the
shares already opened by a previous connection!  (But with the new
vuid's access rights).

Yep - just to do with Windows internal password caching.

Correct.  Or use 'extended security' in which case you might be able to
do another NLTMSSP exchange, and get a different challenge.
