Yes, this is more the idea. We are not looking for vulns. or xploits, rather trying to intelligently "guess" what else is in that directory. Either through dictionary use or other use. For example the following is publicly accessible:
http://www.microsoft.com/new_products/bigwinner2003.html
We want to find out what else might be in "new_products" so we plug in say the words "big" "winner" "2003" and let our dictionary spin:
biggerwinner2003.html - nothing
bigloser2002.html - hit
etc.
Combining the dictionary and words from a specific site or files visible publicly, we try to guess the names of whatever else might be in that directory.
You can do this manually with small time sites and obvious file names e.g. index1.html...index2.html etc. Even annualreport2002.html is visible, try annualreport.2003.html
You can guess and hit on files that are not intended for public consumption.
If it can be automated with user input for obvious keywords, you probably could strike many interesting and sensitive files in the directory.
