Comments 
Attack FTP simply installs a custom version of Serv-u invisibly. The version we acquired is a self extracting zip. Once Attack FTP is ran it displays an error message. It also searches for Tree.dat, which is the old cute ftp password file. If it finds Tree.dat it copies it to result.dll in the windows directory. Anyone can log on to the infected computer with any FTP client on port 666.
