After reading the network trace you sent me, it seems that smb_login.nasl does take most of the time, as your Windows host takes up to three seconds per attempts. In addition to this, it also attempts NTLMv1 AND NTLMv2 authentication, which makes it even slower. The easy solution would be to modify smb_login.nasl to only use the provided password, however it would make it false negative against hosts whose administrator password is not set. -- Renaud _______________________________________________ Plugins-writers mailing list Plugins-writers@private http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/plugins-writers
