Hi,

It would be fairly straight-forward to use a dictionary generator in
conjunction with any of the mentioned cgi-scanners (e.g. nikto, whisker
etc.) - or simply piped through netcat - to achieve your aim.

As others have mentioned, the key limiter will be the time involved to
make so many requests to a server.

It would probably be more efficient to produce a list of 'likely' root
names (e.g. index, default, login) and extensions (htm, html, asp, php
etc.) and iterate through them based on selected or enumerated paths on
the target.

Glyn.

Nothing there that I can see.  The concept's quite simple:-

say you even know the directory

http://www.microsoft.com/new_products/bigwinner2002.html

I want something that via dictionary or other, attacks all 
the files in "new_products" until it hits on something.

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?
