 How to exploit Directory traversal vulnerability?

Backtrack has lots of tools for web-application testing. Directory traversal is one of the critical vulnerability in web-application. Previously i post about what is directory traversal & how to bypass its filter , but that process is manual, it can consume lots of time.But in bactrack automatic tools are available for this test which is DOTDOTPWN.

If you are on other distro , then you can download it form here.

It's a very flexible intelligent fuzzer to discover traversal 
directory vulnerabilities in software such as HTTP/FTP/TFTP 
servers, Web platforms such as CMSs, ERPs, Blogs, etc. 

Also, it has a protocol-independent module to send the desired 
payload to the host and port specified. On the other hand, it 
also could be used in a scripting way using the STDOUT module.

It's written in perl programming language and can be run 
either under *NIX or Windows platforms. It's the first Mexican 
tool included in BackTrack Linux (BT4 R2).

Fuzzing modules supported in this version: 
- HTTP
- HTTP URL
- FTP
- TFTP
- Payload (Protocol independent)
- STDOUT
