Description

When I explode the RDP protocol, if the target system is installed with anti-virus software and the explosion is blocked, Hydra will always be in the scanning state. Specifying - t 1 has no effect. The test scan has a total of 6 passwords, and the scan cannot exit normally. The output above seems that the scan has been completed, but it will still be scanned, I don't know how to solve this problem. image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the scanning loop in hydra's RDP module to understand why it does not terminate after exhausting password attempts, especially when connections are blocked by anti virus.
