This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/windows/ftp/goldenftp_pass_bof.rb) that exploits a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in Golden FTP Server version 4.70 running on Windows XP Professional (SP0/SP1/SP2/SP3). The exploit targets the FTP service by sending a specially crafted PASS command after connecting and authenticating. The buffer overflow allows for execution of arbitrary code (Metasploit payloads up to 440 bytes) on the target system. The exploit requires the 'Show new connections' option to be enabled on the server, which is not the default configuration. The module includes checks for the correct banner and version, and supports multiple return addresses for different Windows XP service pack versions. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the FTP service on the target host. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework.
