Sakaba, Lyal is correct, http://www.cirt.dk/tools/webrute.txt is what you need based upon your problem description. Perl scripts with regex strings, essentially what webrute is doing, will work as well. If the application accesses the files *via* the webserver, the filenames will likely be in the logs, as most webservers log full URL by default. I have seen this before as well, where data was batched in files--either due to memory use limitations or failure to understand delegation of privilege on the MS platform. In either case, it's an insecure practice. If there is unauthenticated write access, one can also demonstrate file mod, file deletion, and DoS by filling all available disk through arbitrary file upload. Based upon your scenario description, many of the other tools suggestions (e.g.-Nikto, Paros, etc.) will not help you w/out customization, and then you might as well just use a scripting language with strong HTTP support and write your own queries.

I tried this on a test machine last week. It's noisy in the logs, but thorough, and slow with large brute force combinations. Take a look - its at cirt.dk, I think.

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... Regards, sakaba
