FTP
CONNECTING ANONYMOUSLY
root@oco:~$ ftp -p {targetIP}
Connected to {targetIP}.
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.3)
Name ({targetIP}:{username}): {anonymous}
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
* -p refers to passive mode
- using -p helps avoid the need for the target server to connect back to the
attacking machine, making FTP work more reliably in offensive or NAT’d
environments.
- Active mode: Server connects back to the client for data transfer.
- Passive mode: Client initiates everything; avoids inbound connections to
the client (better for firewalls).
