Grim's Ping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grim's Ping was once a popular FTP/port scanning software. It was especially popular at the beginning of 2001. The program was mainly used to find FTP servers that allowed anonymous upload of files to them, and supported FXP file transfers. However, throughout the years, the amount of users has declined. This is mainly due to the awareness of system administrators about people exploiting this feature. Today there are very few FTP servers that allow anonymous users to upload files to them.
