I checked the status of the Web Tripwire plugin on this blog this morning to find that I had a real-world event recorded. I thought I’d grab some screenshots, and show them here as it highlights precisely what the plugin does.
You can see in the first image that a user visited the http://blog.yibble.org/webtripwire/ page at 21.28 (EDT) on the 10th of May, and the HTML was altered before it was rendered in their web browser. In this case, we can see that Privoxy dumped a new script on the page, and a call to that script.
The second image shows that I’ve created a new signature for Web-Tripwire, which in future will specfically notify the user that these changes were made by Privoxy, instead of ‘unknown’.
That’s it! A proper real-world example to illustrate what web tripwires can do.
