When going to a URL, at the bottom of the screen there may be URLs of
multiple sites. It goes by too fast to absorb.
Does SeaMonkey log these URLs?
Is there any way to know what information is exchanged?
What gets loaded along with a web page may be images, external stylesheets
and scripts, multimedia, occasionally .xml files. If you want to see what
got loaded, you can see the multimedia files in Page Info. For stylesheets
and scripts, the JSView extension can show you those. I also have
bookmarklets that can access external scripts and anything loaded from link
tags, including images and stylesheets.
What I've always wanted to figure out when I get one of those "YOUR MACHINE
HAS BEEN HACKED! CLICK HERE TO FIX IT" scam pages is to figure out where it
came from, in the sense of trying to figure out the chain of urls from the
page I requested to the scam page. This would allow me to identify and
report the compromised/scummy ad/analytics server to the site I'm accessing
with the strong suggestion that they stop doing business with said
ad/analytics site.
I've never been able to figure this out from the available tools, but could
easily be missing something. I suspect that the use of scripting allows the
bad guys to cover their tracks. Some sort of logging mechanism that
recorded each loaded url along with the url the load was called from would
do the trick.
