Abstract

Existing tools for automatically detecting Web site defacement compare monitored Web resources with uncorrupted copies of thecontent kept in a safe place. This can be an expensive and difficult task, especially when working with dynamic resources. In contrast,the Goldrake tool uses sensors and alarms to automatically monitor remote Web resources' integrity. Such a framework could help designersbuild services to inexpensively monitor multiple Web sites, which could be very attractive for small, budget-limited organizations thatdepend on the Web for their operation.
