During LM hashing, the password is:
First split, then padded
First appended, then split
First padded, then split
None of these
In LM passwords, the password hash is first padded to make it 14 characters long and it is then split into two halves of 7 characters each. NTHash (A.K.A. NTLM), NTLMv1, and NTLMv2 use other hashing algorithms and do not follow the LM algorithm of padding to 14 and splitting in two (source: https://medium.com/@petergombos/lm-ntlm-net-ntlmv2-oh-my-a9b235c58ed4).
