Laravel 4: how to protect assets folder?

Question

I come from CodeIgniter where files/folders are typically protected this way:

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

<html>
<head>
    <title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head>
<body>

<p>Directory access is forbidden.</p>

</body>
</html>

I guess can be possible with .htaccess or hard way but, how can be done using Laravel 4? is there a way using its 'standards'?

Edit: Is a project built for shared hosting.

/assets/{css, img, js}
/packages
/system/{app, bootstrap, vendor, index.php, .htaccess, favicon.ico}

You need to make a file .htaccess, after that you need to add the following:

# Disable Directory Browsing
Options All -Indexes
