"Monkeyspaw is a mildly complex Greasemonkey user script I wrote for Black Hat in order to demonstrate Greasemonkey as an AJAX-ish information gathering framework. It's not really designed for casual users, though -- that's why it has "Security Professional" in the name.
However, I've had some requests to put together some straightforward documentation on getting going with Monkeyspaw with minimal fuss. Thus, this document."

"A unit of 3Com in Singapore has announced a very interesting anti-phishing tool, which it has released as open source.
TippingPoint says the tool, called Monkeyspaw, is for security professionals only, but I can see a lot of other people making use of it.
Author Tod Beardsley explains that the tool is a Greasemonkey script that runs on Firefox. It was originally written for the BlackHat conference, as a demonstration of Greasemonkey's use in an AJAX-ish information gathering environment.
Once the software is all installed, a pop-up console comes up when you click on a phishing link, showing not just the URL but the host server of the offending site. You can then report it by clicking a check box.
Imagine what this can do in the war on spam generally. Imagine what it can do in all sorts of criminal investigations. It sounds like a real open door against all kinds of things."
