# 21 - FTP Many FTP-servers allow anonymous users. These might be badly configured and give too much access, and anonymous access is sometimes required for exploits. Always try to log in with `anonymous:anonymous`, `anonymous:` (blank password) or `anonymous:password`! FTP has two modes: **Binary** and **ASCII**. Keep this in mind to avoid file corruption! ### Nmap scripts: `nmap -sV -Pn -vv -p --script=ftp-anon,ftp-bounce,ftp-libopie,ftp-proftpd-backdoor,ftp-vsftpd-backdoor,ftp-vuln-cve2010-4221 ` ### Hydra brute force attack: `hydra -s -C -u -f ftp` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
