I would recommend a tool like Webreaper.  This will mirror the website onto your machine and allow you to inspect it 
closely.

Hi All,

Is there a way to somehow enumerate a directory structur on a remote 
webserver? Brute force springs to mind but thats mathematically 
impossible, to go through all combinations, etc.

    Cheers,

Nessus can tell you the directories in the root of your
web server and I think that also nikto can, so it could
be possible to traverse the directory tree.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
