Setup TFTP

A TFTP Server for in Information Systems Auditor is an important tool. It has come in handy in a couple situations during an audit. The two that come to mind are retrieving Cisco configuration files and uploading Netcat during a SQL audit or SQL Injection test. This is a quick post on how I like to setup my tftp server on Linux and Windows.

My Linux distro of choice is Ubuntu.

$sudo -s
#apt-get install atftpd
#atftpd --daemon

That will get you started on Linux. The TFTP directory will be /srv/tftp. For Windows I like the free tftp server you get from www.solarwinds.com. Download and install.  Create the directory C:\TFTP-Root.
