About NT Hash
An NT Hash, sometimes referred to as an NTLM hash, is a method of storing passwords on Windows systems. It works by running MD4 on UTF-16LE encoded input. NTLM hashes are considered weak because they can be brute-forced very easily with modern hardware.
Input: text. Output: text.

Example
Use “Try example” to load this public sample and its settings, then run it.
Input
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+.,?/
Result
C5FA1C40E55734A8E528DBFE21766D23
Parameters
This tool does not need additional parameters.
Before interpreting the result
Use a checksum to compare exact bytes against a trusted digest. Choose a password hashing function for passwords and a MAC for keyed authentication. MD5 and SHA-1 are unsuitable for new security-sensitive designs.

- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
