collusion's Introduction

Collusion README

This is an add-on and website for visualizing the entities that track your behavior across the web in real time.

The website also contains a "demo" with sample data that can be viewed without the add-on.

Prerequisites

If you only want to see the demo, you don't need any of these; all you need is a modern browser.

Quick Start

First, install the Mozilla Add-on SDK if you haven't already, and activate it in a command line terminal.

Then, check out the Collusion repository and enter it:

git clone git://github.com/toolness/collusion.git
cd collusion

Finally, run:

python develop.py

This will set up the web front-end for Collusion on port 8888 and start Firefox with a temporary profile that has Collusion installed. Just click on the Collusion icon at the bottom-right of the browser window to open the web front-end.

At this point, any changes you make to the web front-end simply require reloading the tab containing it. Changing the add-on, however, will require quitting Firefox and running python develop.py again.

Software Used

The following software is bundled with the repository and doesn't need to be manually obtained.

Data Used

Contained within the repository is a JSON file listing all public trackers on the internet. It came with the TrackerBlock add-on.
