A lightweight FTP reconnaissance tool made for pentesters and CTF players. It detects anonymous logins, lists files, grabs FTP banners, and checks those banners against a local database (CS) to point you to potential exploit entries.

Key features

✅ Anonymous login detection

✅ Directory listing (when allowed)

✅ Banner grabbing and safe decoding

✅ Heuristic software & extraction (handles apostrophes, parentheses, common banner noise)

✅ Local exploit DB lookup (CS: id,"description")

✅ Portable — single Python script, minimal dependencies

Requirements

Python 3.8+

pip3 for installing dependencies

Linux/macOS/Windows (tested on Linux)

A DB file (default: /opt/ftp-vuln.db) — CS like:

Usage examples

Basic scan (default port 21):

Custom port:

Custom DB path:

Typical output:

Anonymous login status

Directory listing (if allowed)

Extracted banner and parsed software +

Matching exploit(s) from DB with Exploit-DB download links

How it works (simple)

1. Connects to the FTP port and reads the greeting banner.
2. Cleans the banner and tries several patterns to extract the software name and (handles formats like Name 1.2, Name/1.2, Name v1.2, and things inside (...)).
3. Normalizes the extracted name (lowercase, strip punctuation) and searches the local DB for matches.
4. Prints matched exploits and provides exploit-db links.

Troubleshooting & notes

DB file location: Default is /opt/ftp-vuln.db. Use --db to point to a different file.

Symlink caveat: If you create a symlink, don’t move the cloned directory afterwards — the script may rely on relati for the DB. Prefer an absolute DB path or --db to avoid issues.

Shebang: Ensure #!/usr/bin/python3 in the script matches your system’s Python 3 path, or run with python3 ftpscan.py.

Permissions: setup.sh may create symlinks and require sudo.

False negatives: Banner parsing is heuristic. If a match is missed, inspect printed Detected software: output to tune your DB or enable logging.

Contributing

Contributions welcome — fork, create a feature branch, and open a PR. Useful contributions:

DB impro / curated entries

Fuzzy matching to catch slightly different spellings

Better multi-line banner handling or extended fingerprinting

New Features !

Please keep changes small and well-documented.
