Security Problems in FTP

  • Client IP address in the payload, making firewalls and address translators difficult
  • passive mode means opening up a huge hole (firewall rule: client-port > 1023 to server-port > 1023)
  • requires intelligent proxies
  • with enough tries, can connect to passive-mode data connection before the real client gets a chance
Intrusions:
