This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in i-Ftp v2.20, caused by a long time value set for scheduled download. By persuading the victim to place a specially-crafted Schedule.xml file in the i-FTP folder, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. This module has been tested successfully on Windows XP SP3.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/windows/fileformat/iftp_schedule_bof
msf exploit(iftp_schedule_bof) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(iftp_schedule_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(iftp_schedule_bof) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(iftp_schedule_bof) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
