I am able to make Hydra work from the command line to find login/password pairs via SMB. I cannot make it do the same when called from Nessus v2.2.2 however.
Many of the Hydra plugins require that you check "Thorough tests" (under Global variable settings) as well as provide files for Logins and Passwords (under Hydra settings) in the plugin preferences. Have you done so?
I have found that portscanning Widows XP SP2 systems that have the built-in firewall enabled is extremely slow using both Nessus built-in portscanner and Nmap when they are in default configurations. It is possible to make Nmap return results in a reasonable time without seeming to loose accuracy by setting --max_rtt_timeout to e.g. 50 instead of the default 9000. I'm not aware of such an option for the Nessus porscanner - is there?
I'm not aware of anything, but perhaps Michel or Renaud will step in with a more authoritative answer. George -- theall@tenablesecurity.com _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
