Though not ideal, a partial supplement in this scenario is also checking the REFERER, can thwart automated tools to a degree

I understand authentication to these documents is not an issue what is an issue is directory listing. IIS prevents this by default so I assume you are using Apache, Tomcat or another server. So the best way to prevent this issue is to modify your .htaccess file to avoid listing files: Here is an example of how to use it http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess11.shtml Regards, Juan C Calderon -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Alexander Pick Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 3:11 AM To: Thugzclub Thugzclub Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com; webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Directory Scanner Another idea is to proxy your download URLs through a script and hide the real files outside the web root. If you do it in PHP it's pretty simple (header + read file + bit security). Just make sure to make the script secure in terms of directory transversal etc., many people hide their downloads for security and create even bigger holes with bad scripts. You can also add all sort of attack detection to it, like recording the hit count of an IP to it and auto locking the downloads after a certain amount. Hope this helps. greets, AlexA 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 ?
