The libraries that have been posted here so far are mostly found at random with a stroke of luck, or sourced from sites like shodan. Pure and simply not an open directory which is why there's been such a fuss over them and why r/opencalibre was born.įinding the libraries and setting fire to your router! They aren't open directories because Calibre deploys it's own webserver software resulting in index pages being built to allow information, pictures, etc to be displayed about the books. The Calibre libraries that are posted here are also somewhat miscnofigured, either on purpose or by mistake by their nature of not requiring a password and are therefore known as Open Calibre Libraries because they don't require login credentials. If the above didn't already answer this question let's first cover where I think the confusion comes from for most. We do this with the ngx_http_autoindex_module Our webserver software (nginx) comes preconfigured to block access to directories that don't have an index file so unlike apache we have to take the extra step to allow open directories on purpose. However when you navigate to /public where all our files are we don't include any index files resulting in what we now have established to be an open directory. While we do use a theme at the-eye we only have a single index file at our root, which is what you get when you land on the sites homepage, in our case an index.php file.
public/parazite/ ~ Site without index files, thus allowing it to be displayed as an open directory. For example here's a site at the-eye we offer both with and without the index pages. As to prevent an open index you would actually add an index file, which web servers read and display when you browse to the directory. This terminology here gets a little confusing to some. The Difference Between Open Directories & Calibre LibrariesĪn open directory by definition is generally not done on purpose (so unlike the-eye as we use the same technologies and method but do it on purpose, which is why some people argue that we're not an open directory, because we do it for you on purpose and make it look a little pettier) so open directories usually exist due to the server/site owner misconfiguring their software (be it apache, nginx, etc) allowing for what is known as an open index/directory of the files they're hosting.
