Hello all, in this tutorial we will learn how to identify a vulnerability in an FTP server through the process of “Fuzzing” which could lead to a DoS or Buffer Overflow vulnerability identification. In this specific part we will use FTPFuzz to crash FileCOPA and identify a vulnerability in the LIST command.
