Hi, I'm new in hacking. Actually I'm not a hacker I'm just taking security course in college and professor told us "If we can hack he's server and gain root access and add user then we'll get A in that class and don't have to show up anymore".
So, can any body help me to figure out how to do that or just give me some suggestions about that.
I used NMap to scan he's IP and only FTP, SSH and HTTP ports are open.
So I was thinking to get that access through FTP. How Can I do that?

Dear,
you need to come out of the world of Security and Hacking, and have a look at exploits and developments of Shellcodes, also you can keep an eye on major 0-day vulnerabilities listings.
see, to make u understand better, it depends on what OS is running on the he's OS /PC/Server, then u also need the open ports, along with this u will need the most accurate Service information running on those specific open ports, now with armed with all this information , you can now start your hunt , since you are not into hacking, so you can try to search exploits or shellcodes for those services which are found running.
if you are a lucky one , you may find a couple or four, and then you can obtain a shell/root/admin/user privileges and if it is just user level rights, then u may need to escalate your privileges to that of an Admin/root.
Hope this will help you in understanding how to hack/get into he's computer/pc/server.
Thanks
