Comment (by donncha):

 chmac - it's not worth the hassle, as listing directories on a production
 server is a configuration (mis)issue. If the plugins dir is listable then
 it's likely that other directories are as exposed.

 Anyway, the bad guys just blindly fire off requests. They don't bother
 trying to find open directories when it's easier for a dozen bots to
 attack a few hundred sites in parallel.
