hydra taking much time

[ashee69]

though i am new to use this but i researched some forums and videos for attacking RDPs. so here is the issue:
i put this command for hydra
hydra -s 3389 -v -V -L /u1.txt -P /p1.txt -t 10 -w 30 -M /short.txt rdp
where only 4 IPs were to attack and 4 entries in username and 6 entries in password list. still its taking too much time to complete, even i m running it for 3 hours still no result. obviously i cant go for a big wordlist and more ips
still it saying these logs to me after completing

The RDP service you are attacking has bruteforce protection and slows the attach down. Nothing you can do about it.

[ashee69]

thanks for replying sir. is there any specific way to know if the RDP has rdp protection or not with nmap or whatever tool ?

[ashee69]

and can anybody atleast tell me whats the process going on there ? i meant hydra has first tested all the username password combination, it should have told earlier if any login worked or all false. why these children are still completing test ?

[vanhauser-thc]

the RDP server is still allowing logins, just slower and slower and slower. So as long as login attempts are still possible, hydra does it's work.
It did not find anything so far, otherwise it would have reported that.
You can see that countermeasures are in place by seeing that the "[STATUS] 20.00 tries/min," are getting lower and lower.

[UmbraDeorum]

I've noticed that passing ^C to the console and then resuming after a few seconds with hydra -R seems to reset the protection - and thus the testing speed. Too manual to the extend of tedious for tough cases, but it does speed up things at times.
