Discovery Methodology

Use search engines to look for pages which include "index of" in the title. Additionally attempt to read the robots.txt file and spider the application with a tool such as Burp-Suite, OWASP ZAP, or Nikto, and directories named by search engines.

Exploitation

Catalog and inspect the folders named in robots.txt and any directories discovered during spidering. Use a tool such as Burp-Intruder to brute-force sub-directory names in the root directory and other discovered directories.
