office_files.nasl

[Brecrost Jones]

I'm sorry if this is not the right place for this question, but I'm curious 
(and a little concerned) about how the office_files.nasl plugin works.  If I 
have directory listings turned off on my webserver, how is this plugin able 
to find arbitrarily named .doc, .xls, .pdf, etc. files?

I know security by obscurity is a bad idea, but I'm curious how this plugin 
can find my lksjlksjdflksjlk.pdf file?

I have looked at the plugin code, but I'm afraid I can't figure it out. I'm 
a nasl newbie.  Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks.
