Hi,

I would like to know if anyone knows a tool that first spiders the web
in order to enumerate al files and scripts it detects and then look
for this same files but with another extension. For example, first
spiders the web and enumerate:

index.php
news.php
cart.php

And then looks for index.php.bak, index.php.inc, index.php~,
index.bak, index.old, etc.

This tool will be useful supossing that programmers tend to change the
extension of the file to store old files.

I know Nikto, Wikto, etc... but this tools look for predefined files
and I would like to target already existing files but with different
extension.

If the tool does not exist I'll try to code something.

You should run w3af, with discovery.webSpider and discovery.urlFuzzer
enabled. That should do the job! =)

Thanks.
