When you access a web site, your Firefox browser connects to the main destination page, downloads the HTML data, and then attempts to access any additional files referenced by the page in question; these may be images, cascading style sheet files, or a range of other alternatives. Snare will log each of these access requests, and report the details of the transaction.
Version 6 of the Snare Server incorporates new template objectives designed to analyse log data from the Firefox browser, including:
- Inappropriate usage (eg: accessing links that include a pornographic component within the URL)
- Cookie changes
- Access to social media sites
- Snare for Firefox configuration changes
- Ad-hoc queries of arbitrary scope.
Snare Server output components for Browser-related content include, but are not limited to Tabular output, 15-minute segmented graphical pattern maps, Pie, Line and Horizontal graphs of various types, Bandwidth analysis graphs,CSV/TXT output, and Random image samples.
