Heh heh.  No no, I mean when you find some directory with 755 permissions
(instead of 711 permissions) and it's got no index.html file, but it's got
a home.html file linked to from elsewhere, and home.html contains links to
5 images in its directory, but there are actually 7 images in the directory.
If you look at the other 2 that aren't linked to, then IMHO that's snooping,
unless there's a link somewhere to the directory itself.
