Hi I have an open source project that is pretty well-known in the security community. http://www.fireshark.org it's a service wrapper that runs a headless version of firefox to visit malicious sites to store telemetry data.
The old service used PERL for threading (very painful), so a while ago I changed everything to python using the twisted framework. the service's job is to launch a choose a firefox profile, launch the process and handle closes and crashes approprietly. the launch of version 2.5 is next week but I sure could use some feedback on the service code before releasing it. Keep in mind I haven't finishing commenting for public release. here are the files for the new service: 1) fireshark.py http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1614427 this is the main service. opens up a port to listen on, and uses the following two classes to manage profiles and launch a firefox process. 2) firesharkprofilemanager.py http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1614428 this is the firefox profile manager, it manages what firefox profiles are available. 3) firefoxprocess.py http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1614431 this is the firefox process class, to check if the launched process has been killed as well, as check if the logging from the internal plugin (another part of the fireshark project) has completed logging. Thanks in advance! Twisted has been a great Framework! Stephan
