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.
I have not been seeing those messages. What site pops up one of those? You
should be able to find out where it comes from if you use uBlock Origin and
use element picker mode.
You're probably not seeing those messages because the sites doing that
crap are blocked by uBlock Origin or some other addon.
How many of the 'Malware Domains' and 'Multipurpose' filters do you
have enabled?
Any custom filter lists imported?
For whatever it's worth, I haven't seen any "YOUR MACHINE HAS BEEN
HACKED!" messages either and I'm using both uBlock Origin and uMatrix
