A security auditor is using John the Ripper to review password strength on Windows machines. The auditor knows that the company requires a 15-character minimum in their passwords. In this scenario, what format parameter must be passed to John (with Jumbo Patch) to crack the passwords?
When dealing with Windows passwords that are required to be at least 15 characters long, the appropriate format parameter for John the Ripper to use is NT. NT hashes are used by Windows for password storage, and using --format=NT would be suitable for cracking Windows passwords.
Answer should be "C"
