About

This Perl script/library is a 'replacement' for cgi scripts with known significant security holes, such as phf and nph-test. It attempts to gather as much information as possible from the probing site while mimicking the behavior of the script it replaces (without actually giving out any useful information). An extensible framework is provided for adding faked cgi scripts and information gatherers.

Watch.Cgi version 2 is a total re-write of Watch.Cgi version 1, which was developed by the Security Technologies department at The San Diego Supercomputer Center. Watch version 2 was developed by Devin Kowatch <devink at webengruven dot org> on his own time.

Watch.Cgi versions 2 and above are licensed under the GNU GPL.
