Passive connection support
PROBLEM
The FTP service allows passive connections to be established
based on the port address given by client. This can enable some
hackers to use this facility to execute malicious commands off
the FTP service.
The registry contains an entry in
<System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSFTPSVC\Parameters>
where the value could be enabled for value <EnablePortAttack:
REG_DWORD: >. Verify this value is '0', not '1'.
