NTLM Hash is more secure than LM Hash. It was actually replaced by Windows with NTLM. NTLM is case sensitive; so it matters how passwords are typed, its character set is 65,535, and it does not limit stored passwords to two 7- character parts. NTLM is considered a much stronger hashing algorithm. Just make sure passwords stored are more than 14 characters and you will be fine. Now Unix and Linux are probably a more stable OS because they use "salt" Windows LM and NTLM does not.

What is SAM and what is the structure of SAM?

The Security Account Manager (SAM) is a database stored as a registry file in Windows NT, Windows 2000, and later versions of Windows. It stores users' passwords in a hashed format (in an LM hash and an NTLM hash). Since a hash function is one-way, this provides some measure of security for the storage of the passwords. In an attempt to enhance the security of the SAM database against offline software cracking, Microsoft introduced the SYSKEY utility in Windows NT 4.0. And Sam is also very very AWESOME YEAH SAM THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
