Whisker, Metis, nikto (whisker-based) CGI scanners have open libraries that
would allow you to add these kinds of checks.

If you're interested in a commerical solution, WebInspect does this also.

Is there anything out there like a port scanner but for websites, where it
dictionary attacks the files. For example you plug in the domain:

http://www.foo.com

and tries to find .html files (or other)

http://www.foo.com - index.html
                      ndex.html
                       dex.html
                        ex.html


......etc

where runs through numerous possibilities to hit on files on the server
(and even) directories).  If so, one could certainly hit on some sensitive
information, say where the administrator has been testing something, or
internal product infos etc.

If there is nothing out there like this, why not?
