web-tracker

Web extensions that allows to record the requests sent to specific domains

Purpose

This extension tracks all the requests/responses that your browser sends to a domain and all its subdomains (once the recording function is activated). When stopped, the trace will be downloaded in three JSON files that contains respectively requests, headers and responses.

Web traces can then be used for the most disparate purposes..

I.e:

• Mutative testing of websites based on valid web traces.
• Response time analysis to detect DoS loopholes
• Post-browsing web scraping
• Other purposes based on web traffic analysis
