FTP Bounce - Scanning
Manual
Connect to vulnerable FTP
Use **
PORT
**orEPRT
(but only 1 of them) to make it establish a connection with the <IP:Port> you want to scan:PORT 172,32,80,80,0,8080
EPRT |2|172.32.80.80|8080|
Use
LIST
(this will just send to the connected <IP:Port> the list of current files in the FTP folder) and check for the possible responses:150 File status okay
(This means the port is open) or425 No connection established
(This means the port is closed)Instead of
LIST
you could also useRETR /file/in/ftp
and look for similarOpen/Close
responses.
Example Using PORT (port 8080 of 172.32.80.80 is open and port 7777 is closed):
Same example using EPRT
(authentication omitted in the image):
Open port using EPRT
instead of LIST
(different env)
