Server Hacking - FTP:21
Backdoor Command Execution With Metasploit

Hacking Web Servers - Lecture 1
Course by: Tech Hierarchy

Welcome to Lecture 1 of our course on Hacking Web Servers! In this session, we'll explore the fundamentals of server hacking, focusing specifically on exploiting FTP servers through port 21 and executing backdoor commands using Metasploit.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a common network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. While FTP can be a convenient way to share files, it can also pose significant security risks if not properly configured and secured.

In this lecture, we'll cover the following topics:

1. Understanding FTP Servers: We'll start by providing an overview of FTP servers, how they work, and why they are a common target for hackers. You'll learn about the different types of FTP servers, common vulnerabilities, and the potential impact of exploiting them.

2. Exploiting FTP Servers: We'll explore various techniques for exploiting FTP servers, including brute-force attacks, command injection, and exploiting misconfigurations. You'll learn how to identify vulnerable FTP servers and exploit them to gain unauthorized access.

3. Backdoor Command Execution with Metasploit: We'll introduce Metasploit, a powerful penetration testing framework that can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. You'll learn how to use Metasploit to execute backdoor commands on compromised FTP servers, gaining remote access and control.

4. Mitigating FTP Server Vulnerabilities: Finally, we'll discuss best practices for securing FTP servers and mitigating the risks associated with FTP-based attacks. This includes implementing strong authentication mechanisms, using secure file transfer protocols such as SFTP or FTPS, and regularly updating and patching FTP server software.

Throughout the course, you'll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in hands-on exercises and practical scenarios, allowing you to gain real-world experience in hacking web servers and securing them against cyber threats.

By the end of this lecture, you'll have a solid understanding of the techniques used to exploit FTP servers and execute backdoor commands using Metasploit. So, let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of web server hacking together!
