Hacking FTP of a Website Part 1

Disclaimer :The Following Code is only for Educational purposes

What I am Going to teach ?
Hacking a ftp of a website using Brute-Force Attacking Or Dictionary Attacks. Brute Force Attack means randomly trying all the alphabets as username and Password while dictionary attack means using given list of usernames and passwords.

The Requirements :-
I personally used Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat but i will be also explaining that of Lucid Lynx Ubuntu 10.04. Any Of the mentioned OS will Do . In short let me tell you how i am going to hack the FTP. First , I am going to install the Hydra and Xhydra in Ubuntu and then Nikto . Both the tools are used in Ubuntu in order to test the "how strong the ftp password is " but around 30% of the websites could be easily hacked by this method . Many Websites still have no FTP passwords !!

NOTE : I am assuming That you have not modified any of the ubuntu source files and hence won't run into errors . Even If you Do please mention it in the Comment box below.
