Vulnerability discussion

Anonymous FTP is a public data service which is only permitted in a server capacity when located on the DMZ network.

Check content

Use the command ftp to connect the system's FTP service. Attempt to log into this host with a user name of anonymous and a password of guest (also try the password of guest@mail.com). If the logon is not successful, this check is not applicable. Ask the SA if the system is located on a DMZ network. If the system is not located on a DMZ network, this is a finding.

Fix text

Move the system to a DMZ network.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
