If you have access to a bounce FTP server, you can make it request files of other FTP server (where you know some credentials) and download that file to your own server.

Requirements โ€‹

  • FTP valid credentials in the FTP Middle server
  • FTP valid credentials in Victim FTP server
  • Both server accepts the PORT command (bounce FTP attack)
  • You can write inside some directory of the FRP Middle server
  • The middle server will have more access inside the Victim FTP Server than you for some reason (this is what you are going to exploit)

Steps โ€‹

  1. Connect to your own FTP server and make the connection passive (pasv command) to make it listen in a directory where the victim service will send the file
  2. Make the file that is going to send the FTP Middle server t the Victim server (the exploit). This file will be a plaint text of the needed commands to authenticate against the Victim server, change the directory and download a file to your own server.
  3. Connect to the FTP Middle Server and upload de previous file
  4. Make the FTP Middle server establish a connection with the victim server and send the exploit file
  5. Capture the file in your own FTP server
  6. Delete the exploit file from the FTP Middle server
