DEVSHED: WEB SECURITY OVERVIEW PART II

"Many webshops write order logs or debugging output into one or
multiple logfiles or have configuration files with passwords and
article data. If this data is being stored below the document
root, it will have an URL and is by default accessible via the
web. All an                     attacker has to do is to guess
the filenames of these files."
