HTTP Canarytoken

What is an HTTP Canarytoken

When you create a HTTP based Canarytoken, the system gives you a URL.

Anyone attempting to browse to this URL will generate an alert.

Why does this matter? Once you are able to get an alert for a web-based Canarytoken, or a DNS based Canarytoken, you have the building blocks for squillions of possible tripwires.
