This blog describes an XSS canary system: a JavaScript hook of window.alert() that captures exploit context (alert message, stack trace, page URL, referrer, DOM snapshot, timestamp) and sends it to a dedicated callback webserver for monitoring; it includes canary code, server installation and dashboard instructions, testing examples, and operational/privacy considerations.
