Sakaba,
Lyal is correct,
http://www.cirt.dk/tools/webrute.txt is what you need
based upon your problem description.
Perl scripts with regex strings, essentially what webrute
is doing, will work as well.
If the application accesses the files *via* the webserver,
the filenames will likely be in the logs, as most webservers
log full URL by default.
I have seen this before as well, where data was batched
in files--either due to memory use limitations or failure
to understand delegation of privilege on the MS platform.
In either case, it's an insecure practice.
If there is unauthenticated write access, one can also
demonstrate file mod, file deletion, and DoS by filling
all available disk through arbitrary file upload.
Based upon your scenario description, many of the other
tools suggestions (e.g.-Nikto, Paros, etc.) will not
help you w/out customization, and then you might as well
just use a scripting language with strong HTTP support
and write your own queries.

Webrute.pl, by Dennis Rand, may be able to help here.
I tried this on a test machine last week. It's noisy in the logs, but
thorough, and slow with large brute force combinations. Take
a look - its at
cirt.dk, I think.

Subject: How to list all the URLs on a web server
Hi Everyone,
I am auditing a system where files are stored on a web server and
accessed without authentication directly by an application that knows
each file URL. I don't like it but the app owner wants me to
demonstrate that someone could guess the URLs. I have tried a number
of spider tools but they are based on links so they don't pull up
anything.
I am wondering if there is a tool or another method where I
could find
out all the URLs on the web site. The funny thing is I saw
this same
kind of system with the same explanation just the other week
at another
company. Maybe its a new trend...
Regards,
sakaba
