About: WU-FTPD

An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

WU-FTPD (more fully wuarchive-ftpd, also frequently spelled in lowercase as wu-ftpd) is a free FTP server software (daemon) for Unix-like operating systems. It was originally written by Chris Myers and Bryan D. O'Connor in Washington University as a replacement of the BSD FTP daemon, for use in the Washington University network, primarily the large wuarchive site. The software eventually evolved to lend itself as a replacement in other mainstream commercial operating systems of the time, including DEC's Ultrix, IBM's AIX and Sun's SunOS and Solaris operating systems. It was also soon ported to other operating systems rooted in open source, such as FreeBSD and Linux.

dbo:abstract
  • Der WU-FTPD ist ein an der Washington University entwickelter FTP-Daemon, ein Server für das File Transfer Protocol.Die Lizenz des WU-FTPD ist mit den Debian Free Software Guidelines konform. Der WU-FTPD wurde ursprünglich von Chris Myers und Bryan O'Connor für die großen Archive der Universität programmiert und zeichnet sich durch große Funktionsvielfalt aus. Im Frühjahr 1999 wurde die WU-FTPD Development Group zur Weiterentwicklung gegründet, die am 30. November 2001 die jüngste Version 2.6.2 veröffentlichte. Anfang der 2000er Jahre war der WU-FTPD weit verbreitet und einer der Infektionswege des Ramen-Wurms. Ein Schlaglicht auf das Sicherheitskonzept des WU-FTPD warf das im Jahr 2004 entdeckte Problem, dass Benutzer sich unversehens im Stammverzeichnis des Betriebssystems wiederfanden, sobald sie vermeintlich alle Rechte verloren. Mitte der 2000er Jahre antworteten die Maintainer nicht mehr auf dringliche Schwachstellenmeldungen. Seit dem Jahr 2008 ist die Website der WU-FTPD Development Group nicht mehr erreichbar. Die jüngsten stabilen Versionen von Debian beispielsweise stellen wu-ftpd nicht mehr zur Verfügung. (de)

It was also soon ported to other operating systems rooted in open source, such as FreeBSD and Linux. The software had fallen into disrepair during the mid-1990s until its stewardship was taken over by . He released a number of patches, which were named the ACADEM series, named after his company, Academ Consulting Services. After a few years the source code was taken over by Gregory Lundberg who consolidated the ACADEM and other patches and enhanced the software, again through another series of patches called the VR series, named after VRNet, his then company. Around 1999, the project's oversight was provided by a loose group of developers working as the WU-FTPD Development Group, which counted Gregory Lundberg among them. Around 2002, he left the project for personal reasons and it went dormant, with only Kent Landfield of the Landfield Group keeping the website and the CVS repository alive up until 2007. Today, a new series (CC) of unofficial patches was launched to try to bring the software up-to-date, again culling for patches found across the Internet. BeroFTPD was also an offshoot of WU-FTPD, which saw feature improvements made into the code. The last known release of that software was 1.3.4 before it was merged back into the WU-FTPD codebase yielding wu-ftpd-2.6.0 as a result. BeroFTPD development then ceased. Up until the early 2000s, it was the most common FTP server software in use, though its use has lessened in recent years due to availability of more feature-rich and easier-to-configure software, and primarily due to its perceived lack of security and the perceived complexity of the source code. In 2001, for example, the used WU-FTPD as one of the possible intrusion mechanisms. (en)
  • WU-FTPD(wuarchive-ftpd)はUNIX系OSのFTPサーバソフトウェア(デーモン)の一つ。セントルイス・ワシントン大学内のネットワークで利用するために、BSD FTPデーモンに置き換わるものとして開発された。2000年代初期までは最も一般的なFTPサーバとして普及していたが、最近はより機能が豊富で設定の容易な他のソフトウェアによって置き換えられている。その主な原因は、セキュリティの欠落とソースコードの複雑さのためである。その例として、2001年、が不正侵入のためにWU-FTPDを利用した事例がある。 現在は多くのLinuxディストリビューションがWU-FTPDを非推奨としている。 (ja)
