I've been reading more and more about the LANMAN (LM) hash and I'm having trouble understanding some of the concepts. Is there really any security advantage when it comes to splitting a password, encrypting the two halves separately, and combining the halves to form one hash? Or is it just more of "security through obscurity"?
