    Sure do.  Excellent tool for enumeration.  Same holds true for OWA for
    exchange.  This gives me the ability, over time, to guess out how the
    usernames are formed, and provides me with an externally available tool
    for initial password guessing.

    Subject: Enumerating users on a Domino webserver
    
    Hi,
    
    during a pen-test against a Domino 5.0.8 webserver, I was able to
    enumerate valid users.
    
    A simple "GET /mail/toto.nsf HTTP/1.0" redirects to the login page (with
    a "200 OK" 
    HTTP code) if the user "toto" exists and a "404 File not Found"  is
    returned if the user 
    doesn't exist.
    This issue can allow a faster brute force attack on HTTP passwords.
    
    
    I have search the Net for more information about this problem, but I
    found nothing.
    
    Can the readers reproduce this behaviour ?
    Do you see others implications than users enumeration (for social
    engineering and brute 
    force attacks) ?
    
    
    Nicob
