I need some clarification of your environment to properly be of help...

Is the application not using https?

If not just sit a client on the same subnet and watch normal traffic to the webserver with a tool like ethereal or etherpeek... your client will soon see that there are plenty of ways to skin a cat...
It's all about networking after all...

njoy the looks on their faces.

Hi Everyone,

I am auditing a system where files are stored on a web server and accessed without authentication directly by an application that knows each file URL. I don't like it but the app owner wants me to demonstrate that someone could guess the URLs. I have tried a number of spider tools but they are based on links so they don't pull up anything.

I am wondering if there is a tool or another method where I could find out all the URLs on the web site. The funny thing is I saw this same kind of system with the same explanation just the other week at another company. Maybe its a new trend...
