FTP program 'GOFTP'. (www.goftp.com) It is a rogue Trojan type FTP software and one of the most dangerous FTP spywares on the internet today. GOFTP, does not encrypt FTP username and password at user account input session. As such, any user who enters their FTP account information at the time of using GOFTP program gets their FTP server account information compromised.

It will send the user's login account information to its author. A very easy and brilliant way to get FTP account passwords. Now, When the software is being used, it will inject rogue scripts in user's PHP, ASP JS files at FTP file transfer time. These rogue scripts range from admalware, browser re-directors, to Click fraud installations to any thing that the software author wants.

The owners of GOFTP, with the use of the user's FTP account information, have total access to your FTP server and can literally do what ever they want to a user's website server. Now that is how dangerous GOFTP software is.

It is known that they start downloading your FTP files or uploading their own files to your server. They then will have total access to your server. They also upload rogue scripts that use your send mail programs to send sporadic random spam emails around the internet.

They have created a network of bot type compromised ad serving and click fraud computer servers. GOFTP's seemingly fast upload burst speed is based on the Kazaa MAGNET or Torrent based P2P type technology. At time of FTP transfer it uses other servers that have same types of files to achieve its transfer speeds. GOFTP contains Visual basic Script s which searches uses computers for prescribed information, and communicates with its authors servers.
