antispyd-0.0.4.tar.gz

Antispyd is an HTTP/HTTPS threat filtering proxy server. The main characteristic of this project is the modularity of its conception. The program is organized around an HTTP/HTTPS gateway service and a set of filters that can be enabled or disabled, and are all configurable with a single configuration file. Current filters are: URL filtering, content filtering, content-type filtering, cookie removal, pop-up removal, shell code attack blocking, Web traffic anonymizing, and a signature-based filtering engine. All filtering is done on the fly, without blocking downloads in any case. It uses only POSIX primitives and is built with autotools, and was created with security in mind.
