yah the scan almost never completes. most of the time it sort of hangs and i just loose my patience and cancel the scan. i'm using linksys wireless. On 7/30/08, jdm <jdmancuso () gmail com> wrote:
Hello, FWIW my first thought is that the host(s) are using LaBrea -- do your scans take a long time to complete? I know that Nessus has a plugin to scan for LaBrea tarpitted hosts, it may be worth looking into: http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=10796 Other than that, sounds like the site may be filtering traffic via a firewall or proxy; this is a common practice. Are you running any kind of firewall and IDS evasion measures? Try using the --ttl, -f, -T, and --scan-delay options.
