About The Project

This project is part of the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department (CEID) of University of Patras Web Programming & Systems course. It features a website that filters and analyzes .har files. In more detail, a user can create an account and choose a .har file from their local machine. After that, the website filters the chosen file and presents the user with two options, download the new filtered file on their local machine and/or upload it to their profile. If the user chooses to upload the file on their profile, they have the ability to see the server locations of the requested websites on a heatmap (based on the uploaded files). Additionally, a user with admin privileges can have access to more information about all the .har files uploaded on the database (number of users, number of distinct ISPs, etc).
