>> I don't see how CDROM provides significant advantages on a WEB server
>> "graffiti" attack.

In order to avoid graffiti try something like this:

1)Write a program that checks the size/date of the WWW directory
        If it fails have it Kill the WWW server
                and send email to the admin.
2)Setup a CRON job to run the program every 15 min.

If a hacker is good enough they will find it, but who would be looking for
such a random thing?

Just make sure you change the size whenever you make a change to your
documents.

As for CD-ROM WWW sites, I believe the term "Link-rot" comes to mind.

Good Luck,
Brad
