Completing this exercise is actually very simple. The trick is to know what you are looking for:

We want to find the username and password for an FTP login. That means that they are part of a packet exchange between the FTP client and the FTP server. Both the client and the server communicate using the FTP protocol. The Ethereal protocol analyzer shows you, for each packet, what protocol is used in it.

So step-by-step, here is what you need to do:

Step 1:	Go through the packet list and find some that are labelled "FTP". Here's an example taken from a different capture session:
Step 2:	Find a packet that says "Request: USER ", followed by the actual user name. You already found the user name for logging into the FTP server! Now on to the password!
Step 3:	Find a packet that says "Request: PASS ", followed by the actual password. Now you have all the information you need to log into the server! The following picture illustrates that:
Step 4:	Select this Internet Explorer windows and for the URL type in "ftp://<username>:<password>@137.48.142.41", replacing username and password with the information you just found in the packets, and ignoring the quotation marks. Then press <ENTER>. Internet Explorer will now try to connect the the FTP server, using the username and password you provided. If everything went well, you should see a screen with a single file on it. Just open the file and let one of the students know that you completed the exercise. If you run into any problems, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us! Congratulations! You earned yourself a little reward! We hope you enjoyed our little exercise and wish you a fun AOE 2006!
