Monitor Web page changes with Specto

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:00:00 GMT
There's no dearth of Web feed readers for Linux that allow you to keep tabs on new postings on a Web site. But what if the Web site or page you're interested in doesn't provide a feed? Specto is a nifty little Python application that lets you monitor changes to static or dynamic pages. You can configure Specto to monitor changes to wiki pages, blog posts, forum threads, your email inbox, and even files and folders on your own system. An unobtrusive pop-up from its system tray icon informs you of all changes, so you don't have to hop around looking for updates.

SPIKEPROXY(1)						      General Commands Manual						     SPIKEPROXY(1)

NAME
spikeproxy - web application auditing tool SYNOPSIS
spkproxy [-s SSLproxyhost] [-p port] [-U NTLMUser] [-D NTLMDomain] [-P NTLMPassword] [-l ListenHost] [-c cache_directory] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the spikeproxy command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. SPIKE proXY functions as an HTTP and HTTPS proxy, and allows web developers or web application auditors low level access to the entire web application interface, while also providing a number of automated tools and techniques for discovering common problems. These automated tools include: 1.Automated SQL Injection Detection 2.Web Site Crawling (guaranteed not to crawl sites other than the one being tested) 3.Login form brute forcing 4.Automated overflow detection 5.Automated directory traversal detection In addition to automated analysis, SPIKE proXy allows the user to penetrate into the internals of the web application by viewing and chang- ing all variables, cookies, headers, or other parts of the request and resubmit them. SPIKE proXy maintains a careful record of each request made - saving both each request, and the entire response. The user can later go back and replace any request or view any response. OPTIONS
This program can be configured with the options listed below. The options may be given in any order. -c cache directory The directory that will be used to cache all the requests. This directory is created if it does not exist. The default location is /var/cache/spikeproxy but it can only be used by the root user. -l listenhost The IP address the proxy will listen on (it defaults to 127.0.0.1 so it is not available from external hosts). -p port This option sets the port the proxy will listen on (it defaults to 8080 if not provided). -h proxyHost Sets a proxy host to use in the proxy chain. Spike will forward all requests to this proxy. -H proxyPort Sets the port for the proxy host. -s proxySSLHost Sets a proxy host for SSL connections. Spike will forward all SSL requests to this proxy. -S proxySSLPort Sets the port for the SSL proxy host. -U NTLM Username Defines the NTLM username it will use when authenticating to the proxy host. -P NTLM Password Sets the password it will use when authenticating to the proxy host. -D NTLM Domain Sets the NTLM domain it will use when providing credentials to the proxy host. SEE ALSO
The program provides inline documentation in the user interface when connected to it through a web client. If you are trying to audit a web application you might want to read OWASP Guide to Building Secure Web Applications and Web Services, Application Security Attack Components project, Application Security Testing Framework, and the OWASP Web Application Security TopTen available at http://www.owasp.org and the World Wide Web Security FAQ available at http://www.w3.org/Security/Faq/ AUTHOR
