    The plugin details seems easiest but they are say "packet" and not http request and not necessarily by a browser. Presuming they have compromised the machine this staining will be …

    Looking at the IWF website. Only child porn is within their remit. This seems a little crazy breaking parts of the web and effectively assuming everyone visiting a file sharing sit…
