• FTP is not very secure by default. So we'll install SSH to make it secure.

Connecting to the server with ssh:

• apt install proftpd to the server
• go to /etc/proftpd and create a copy of proftpd.conf like proftpd.conf.original with cp /home/user/proftpd.conf /home/user/proftpd.conf.original
• copy the edited proftpd.conf file of the Prof inside the etc/proftpd with cp /home/user/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd/

Go to the client's terminal;

• open wireshark with sudo wiresharkon a different terminal window and start the following of the ens33
• connect to the ftp through the original terminal file with ftp command
• in ftp enter open
• enter the ip address of the srvlx01 which is 192.168.3.101 in our case
• enter the password
• going back to wireshark filtering ftp and we can see the password and the username of the ftp easily on the results, which is not secure at all.
