Thanks for answering Renaud. Just to give a little further background. I have been running the scans against my company's networks for several months now. In the past, none of the scans took longer than 2 hours. I started one yesterday at about 5:30 pm, left work about 6:00 pm and when I came to work this morning at 9:00 am it was still at the same percentage done that it was when I left yesterday. I have not installed Hydra, but I am sure some of the PC's are running Cisco Security Agent and others are running Zone Alarm, so maybe they are slowing this down that much.
When I leave work for the day I will start this scan again and see if it will finish this time.
Thanks again for the help Renaud! I appreciate all the work you put into Nessus!
