[OPLINTECH] webform question

[Bob Neeper]

If you suspect it is done from an in house PC you could useTightVNC and 
VNC Thumbnail Viewer
Then monitor the pc(s) remotely.  Although there may be privacy issues 
involved.
If only one PC to watch just use TightVNC on 2 PC's.
VNC Thumbnail Viewer can monitor multiple PC's from one.

You could also run Wireshark & set it to filter for the server that 
serves the webform.
Then look at the results for an IP address.
You would need to know your various PC's IP's to determine which machine 
is the culprit.
Less privacy issues and also should show if it was from outside the library.
Harder than it sounds. May not be real time, depending.

If an outside IP you might be able to find the ISP and notify them a 
customer is causing problems.
You could provide the Wireshark log for review.
