Hello all,

pleased to announce a new prerelease version of Dephormation is available to download.

It includes a significant new feature, developed by Narcosis, that records evidence of redirects by Phorm (or Nebuad) to a log file. This data could be used to support Fraud/Computer Misuse/RIPA complaints, or simply for technical analysis of DPI systems like Phorm and Nebuad. (I've checked every contributed line of code, and found only pure genius).

I've tested this on Windows XP/FF2, and Linux/FF1.5. Narcosis has tried it on a Mac.

(nb; right click, save as, and drag into Firefox to install).

Please feel free to give it a try (and revert back to the current public v1.6 if you encounter problems).

Please note, with logging enabled, there is a trivial but discernable performance hit. The code probably needs some file handling optimisation. I'd suggest keeping the feature off, unless you suspect you are being redirected and want to capture a log.

On Windows, the log file is best viewed in Wordpad, not Notepad (due to carriage return/line feed layout issues).

PS... forgot to mention, the options can be accessed from the new Tools/Dephormation... menu item.

regards
Pete
