3. Problem2
4. Solution
5. Ending/Info
1. I have discovered two vulnerabilities in Mollensoft's FTP Server.
2. By default, the server has an anonymous setup with no password and full
privledges.
3. It stores passwords in clear text, and are very easily found. You can
find information in /users. Each file in that folder is named after the
username, and holds the password and some other information as well.
3. For 2., As a user fix, disable the account or add a password. For 3.,
they need to use encryption.
4. The server could be compromised, and the attacker use the server as a
pub.
