Abstract

This chapter focuses on File Transfer Protocol (FTP)-based services. FTP has long been a standard to transfer files across the Internet, using either a Web browser or an FTP client. Because of the highly exploitable nature of FTP, this chapter highlights why it is insecure, how it can be exploited, and how to secure it. While FTP remains a common method of transferring files on the Internet, SCP has superseded it as a preferred method among security professionals for transferring files securely. The chapter deals with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), its inherent security vulnerabilities, and how it can be secured. By exploring these issues, one will have a good understanding of the services and Internet technologies that are utilized in network environments.
