How to find which file is serving ads in my application?


Ok, somehow I am serving ads in my NodeJS / AngularJS application, but I haven't include this myself.

There's some package or included link sending ads to the client, but the ads are not visible, and the adserve url changes with every request. (The url that can be seen in the screenshot below)

How do I find out which place in my application serves these ads?

PS: I am sure this doesn't come from my local dev pc, my other collegues have this issue as well.

Solution

  • The "adserver" in my project turns out to be a tracking / analytics beacon included by the Realtime.co framework.

    Thankfully, the author responded to my email very quickly, and they also provide a beacon-free version of their framework. So problem solved :)
