In todays era of cybersecurity, understanding vulnerabilities is crucial. One such vulnerability often overlooked is anonymous FTP login, which can expose sensitive data if not properly secured. In this article, I’ll walk you through the development of a Python-based tool designed to detect FTP servers that allow anonymous logins.

Project Overview:

The FTP Scanner Tool is a practical cybersecurity utility built to scan a range of IP addresses, attempting to log in anonymously to FTP servers and report on their security status. This tool not only helps identify potential vulnerabilities in network security but also serves as a hands-on project for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals.

Key Features:

• IP Range Scanning: Enables scanning of a specified range of IP addresses for FTP servers.
• Anonymous Login Testing: Attempts anonymous login on discovered FTP servers to detect security vulnerabilities.
• User-Friendly GUI: Presents results in an intuitive graphical interface using tkinter with a stylish red and black fire-themed design.
• Educational Purpose: Ideal for beginners to gain practical experience in cybersecurity and Python programming.
