Open Source Site Management Software

Spondulas is browser emulator and parser designed to retrieve web pages for hunting malware. It supports generation of browser user agents, GET/POST requests, and SOCKS5 proxy. It can be used to parse HTML files sent via e-mail. Monitor mode allows a website to be monitored at intervals to discover changes in DNS or content over time. Autolog mode creates an investigation file that documents redirection chains. The retrieved web pages are parsed for links and reported to an output file. More information is available on the wiki.

I have several websites and some time ago I found code in one of my websites that I did not create. One of those scripts was able to send spam and the other one had some malware code in it. Now you can argue that my website was just not safe enough because who ever placed this code had been able to get in. That is true and the ideal situation is to have such a safe website that nobody can break in. But sometimes this is hard to achieve. mod_detect was developed to at least find code that someone else placed into the scripts of your website and eventually eliminate it.
