 | View Full Version : anon ftp attacks miami_g 07-17-2002, 01:52 PM has anyone experienced what appears to be an anon ftp attack i commented out ftp entry in a config file, seemed to work for a while, they're baccckkk its almost a pseudo dos based on ftp esdjco 07-18-2002, 12:50 AM Disable anon ftp and this will not happen. You may still get reports of the attempts but if disabled it tightens your box a bit! :D mwatkins 07-18-2002, 02:27 AM Show us some log entries. Most of what I see in ftp logs are warez scanners looking for a place to dump stuff. All automated. I even left a text file called passwd sitting in the directory and no one touched it LOL. DotComster 07-18-2002, 04:33 AM No one should enable anon FTP ever! unless: 1 - They know the risks, and how to take care of them. 2 - they REALLY need it. |
