Check Out This Anonymous FTP Proxy!

[Free]

Check this out. Looks to be a free Anonymous FTP Proxy service: http://www2ftp.de/login.html . Thanks to Moorhuhn for recommending it. The site is in German, but is easily translated.

The exciting part is, when I logged onto an FTP site that posts my IP in the welcome message ( ftp://mitosis:mitosis@24.**2.*55.245:*** ), it posted a DIFFERENT IP when I went through http://www2ftp.de/login.html .

So, this poses a couple of questions for you more knowledgable members:

*. Is this indeed an anonymous FTP proxy?

2. If this is an anonymous proxy, how can we use it with Grim'sPing in order to scan for Pubs?

Thanks,

Free

Maybe for you :-)

What do you put in the * fields? I left username and pw blank. No good.

put anonymous credentials if the server allows anonymous login.
or
put the username - password for the server, for e.g. ftp://mitosis:mitosis@24.**2.*55.245:*** the username : mitosis
password : mitosis
servername: 24.**2.*55.245 (or the www name of the server)
port: *** (will b 2* for the most of the ftp servers)

tht way u'll b able to login. but the language is not english :(

thanks. i got in. but it didn't show an IP address for me which is what i really wanted to check out. Does it for you?

So say you are logged in under an IP not your own. What are the possibilities of what you can do from that page?

You should be getting a welcome message like:

========================================
========================================
Hello, mitosis !!!
You are connecting today from *2*.456.78*.*2* !

You are user #2 of *0 maximum users

The time is now **:20:58 PM, on 06/02/200*.
========================================
========================================

"*2*.456.78*.*2*" would be your IP.

I didn't get that, none of it.

Could it be because I have javascript disabled?

Well, I tried anonymous login to the same server with an ftp proggy and the url you gave us.

With the ftp program, welcome message was ..

------------------------
220-Hello UNKNOWN at ### here's my true IP ####,
220-
220-Welcome to the ###ftp server name ### archive, Please login as `anonymous' with .....

----------------------

I got the following by using the German site.

----------------------

Hello UNKNOWN at [IP, the German site] -- No registered data,

Looks like this is a true web-based anon ftp.
