Hashing is the most common form of purely random access to a file or database. It is also used to access columns that do not have an index as an optimisation technique. Hash functions calculate the address of the page in which the record is to be stored based on one or more fields in the record. The records in a hash file appear randomly distributed across the available space. It requires some hashing algorithm and the technique. Hashing Algorithm converts a primary key value into a record address. The most popular form of hashing is division hashing with chained overflow.
To decode a hash string you first need to know what hash function was used to encode it.
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.

Some well-known hash algorithms with a 160-bit output:RIPEMMD-160SHA-0/SHA-1Tiger-160
kerberos version 5 NTLM protocols are used by AD
Both SHA-1 and SHA-0 use a 160-bit hash value. Note that "SHA-0" is a retronym for the original SHA hash algorithm. SHA-1 corrected some significant flaws in the original algorithm that yielded some serious security weakness. The TIGER hash algorithm is designed to use a 192-bit hash, but also has the capability to use 160-bit and 128-bit hash values. The HAVAL algorithm can produce hashes in lengths of 128 bits, 160 bits, 192 bits, 224 bits, and 256 bits. One version of the RIPEMD algorithm, RIPEMD-160, has a 160-bit hash. Other versions of RIPEMD, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-320, use 128, 256, and 320-bit hashes respectively. Of these, the most common is probably SHA-1, which is available on most Windows based machines.
