Recently in an website I had noticed that the data which is received from the server is not the data that is being displayed.I think it would have been modified on client-side. So, Is there any way by which I can know which action is being performed by which script?

1Generally: no. You would have to work your way through the javascript to find it. However, I'm not quite sure how this is a security question? – Conor Mancone Jul 11 '20 at 18:22

[Debugging](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/javascript) tools in browsers might help but that's probably a question for stack overflow – nobody Jul 11 '20 at 18:24

2You may be able to track down the script using the `developer tools` function in your web browser. Use the `networking` tab to find requests from the client-side scripts to the server, and examine the responses for the data that you are interested in. You can also use the `inspector` to find the DOM element that the data is displayed in, then you may be able to find the script by searching for scripts that contain a reference to this DOM element. You should be able to find the script by using techniques similar to those above, and perhaps a little monkey-patching. – mti2935 Jul 11 '20 at 18:48
