Attached is a patch to better decode the NTLMSSP address list found in the challenge packet. It fleshes out the decoding of the individual items to show how the type and lengths are determined.

Why are some offsets into the packet made 16 bits long? That runs the risk of rude surprises if they overflow 16 bits, unless NTLMSSP specifies module-64K arithmetic in that case.
