      Another way, which was common practice in the mid 2000s, was to use the intitle:“index of” technique to find an open directory containing the item you want.

      There’s still a risk of malware, as malware creators have learned to hide their stuff in their own malicious open directories. When you’re dealing with raw files, you can never completely be safe.

      So your fanfic character will need some antivirus protection for sure. (You can probably make up the name for the antivirus in your story)
