Why is requests_ntlm recommended for vulnerability exploitation in EWS development compared to other methods?

requests_ntlm balances development convenience and exploit effectiveness. Unlike lower-level communication protocols that require manual handling of NTLM challenges, or higher-level libraries like exchangelib which abstract away details needed for exploitation, requests_ntlm directly exposes NTLM authentication while remaining easy to integrate. It also supports hash-based authentication, critical for pentesting, and its Session mechanism reduces overhead. This makes it a preferred choice for writing reliable exploit code against Exchange Web Services.
