For security, try mounting the following attack: (1) Standard "human
names" attack, (2) Version of dictionary attack. All attacks should
fail after 3 times, if password is invalid. If anonymous then user name
and password will help a bit. Found lots of errors in FTP login
"permission to use account". Never saw any of them actively exploited as
with attacks mounted against telnet.
Have Fun.
