IMHO, the topic starter need to answer on the one question: what risk do I want to reduce? Risk of unathorized access to these *private* PDF documents? Ok, you need to implement authorization to access these pages.

Hi,

Probably you can implement authentication to these pages, if you want
specific users can access these pages.
or probably, you can block the IP for specific time period after un
successfull requests to non-eisting files.

Thanks,

Sekhar

A question:

Given a website URL like the below :

http://www.companywebsite.com/resources/resources/whitepapers/document_1_wp.pdf
http://www.companywebsite.com/resources/resources/whitepapers/document_arbinatryname__wp.pdf

How can I protect somebody from enumerating the list of file on this
"whitepapers" directory ?  What tool can I use to make sure that I am
adequately protected against this ?
Cheers
