Chip, You already asked this question on security basics, I provided you with a good answer there. Chip Panarchy wrote:
Hello I was wondering if I could have some help in 'hacking'/'cracking' an FTP site. I know that FTP is a very old protocol... so I'm certain that there are many holes in it. Especially in one that hasn't been maintained for a few years. How do I crack the password on the FTP site so that I can use that to convince the owner of the site (a friend of mine) to switch to SFTP? I really want to know, because no matter how hard I argue with him, there still is no comparison to cold hard evidence. I've been trying to convince him for the last month, but he won't budge. Finally I got him to give me permission to attempt to hack his FTP site. So please tell me what method I can use to hack the FTP site.
