Tracking javascript events
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
I am trying to use openwpm to track user activities (js events). But I could not log/get js button click and other events. Does web-extension(js instrumentation) track the data such as button click and other other events ?
Hmm, I don't really know. I wrote some ideas in the openwpm matrix channel so maybe that helps.
Another thing that comes to mind is instrumenting the event you want to capture.
Does adding "SubmitEvent"
or "MouseEvent"
to the js_instrument_settings
work? Or is that what you tried?
Thank you very much. I am trying to integrate openwpm webext-instrumentation for a webextension app. I want to track all js events so I am trying to use the js instrumentation for this. I have logged all the instrumentation data but it does not track js clicked and other js events. It logs 'javascript_cookies' data only. This is my config settings, I also added js_instrument_setting:
let config = {
navigation_instrument: true,
cookie_instrument: true,
js_instrument: true,
js_instrument_settings:["SubmitEvent", "MouseEvent"],
cleaned_js_instrument_settings: [
{
object: `window.CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype`,
instrumentedName: "CanvasRenderingContext2D",
logSettings: {
propertiesToInstrument: [],
nonExistingPropertiesToInstrument: [],
excludedProperties: [],
logCallStack: false,
logFunctionsAsStrings: false,
logFunctionGets: false,
preventSets: false,
recursive: false,
depth: 5,
},
},
],
http_instrument: true,
callstack_instrument: true,
save_content: false,
testing: true,
browser_id: 0,
};
Hey, please use the browser_params in python code to configure the JS Instrument and copy out the generated config. Otherwise you'd have to learn the full syntax for cleaned_js_instrument_settings
, which does not seem like a good use of time.
Assign the ["SubmitEvent", "MouseEvent"]
to the browser_params.js_instrument_settings
here:
Lines 22 to 37 in 65c284b
js_instrument_settings
get transformed into cleaned_js_instrument_settings
by python code here
Thank you!
