If you can see the enemy ...

... the enemy can see you. Unless you hide yourself.

One of the joys of referrer checking is that you get to see things that are normally hidden. Security through obscurity is not secure.

In this case I was checking a referrer pointing back to a site analysis. Aside from the data, that I really did not find interesting, I liked the tool. It does not play too well with Domino URLs, at least not with this level of tweaking, but it does return interesting data.

Update: Directory is protected now. Don't try to hack them. And while you are at it, check their Open Source Domino CMS.
