ntlmclient

Simple NTLM client library for Rust.

lib.rs:

A simple NTLM client library for Rust.

Sample usage:

use base64::prelude::{BASE64_STANDARD, Engine};

const EWS_URL: &str = "https://example.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx";

    let challenge_response = ntlmclient::respond_challenge_ntlm_v2(

        &target_info_bytes,

    client.get(EWS_URL)
