Global FTP Cracker

The main security option for the majority of services out there is a set of username and password. Since it’s advisable to use different sets for each services, there are high chances to forget some of them. If they’re for your FTP server, Global FTP Cracker is an application which can help you retrieve lost login details.

One of the first things you need to know is that the application can function without having to be installed on your computer, so you can see what it can do for you right after download. One other thing is that it requires .NET Framework, but chances are it’s already on your PC since it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations.

As the name suggests, the application’s core feature is to help you recover lost usernames and passwords for your FTP server. It does this through brute-force dictionary attacks, but doesn’t come with any preset dictionary files. This means that you first need to take the time to set up a few things.

Dictionary files are stored in regular TXT items. They need to contain objects on different lines, meaning you can check multiple servers, but also multiple accounts at a time. Note that passwords also need to be found in the dictionary files, because the program doesn’t just randomly check until found.

Defining dictionary items is done directly inside the TXT file. Once this is done, you need to access the program options panel to select them. This is the last step before you can start recovering accounts. It can take a bit of time to finish though, because it all depends on the complexity and amount of items to check.

To sum it up, Global FTP Cracker can feel a little rough around the edges at first, but it’s only at the beginning of a long road. Dictionary files first need to be created, after which the application takes its time to check your list against the FTP requirement fields until the right set is found.
