Forking dissenter #102

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

I have a site-specific purpose for dissenter that I want to create a fork of dissenter's browser extension for. What do I need to do to set up a backend for it?

Good question. With the project dead now, I suspect the only way you will get an answer is to set up a virtual machine so you have limited traffic going in and out of it. Then using packet capturing software (such as WireShark) set up on that virtual machine, you visit a locally made, or remotely made web site. One that is limited to basically "Hello world" on it.

Looking at the source code will also probably help.

This way you can see what sort of communication is transaction between the extension, and the Dissenter remote server. At least you will be able to make a database based on that. Due to actions taken by some web sites to, I suspect the Dissenter server is creating custom URLs. One site I read about had been making custom URLs for each visitor to try to stop Dissenter. I am not sure how they got around that.
