Dephormation Cookie Test

When a request is made to a non-standard http port, Phorms UID will probably 'leak' into the outside world. Phorm claim they ignore traffic other than http/port 80 so cannot prevent this leak occurring.

The Status Image

This page includes a dynamic 'status' image.

Image turns red and displays an alert if a Phorm UID cookie is found.
Image turns yellow and displays a warning if a Phorm Partner ISP (BT/Virgin) is identified.
Image turns green and displays a message if neither a UID cookie or Phorm Partner ISP is found.

This image *must* be served from a non-standard http port (anything other than port 80) to be effective.

If the server is present on Phorms secret blacklist the image will only be partially effective because a Phorm UID cookie may not be available.

Joining the Phorm blacklist is a bonus for any web master who doesn't want to be part of Phorm's vile parasitic marketing scheme.

The image can be accessed using a url such as http://yourhost.com:yourport/yourpath/images.php
