TECH: Web questions

[Floyd Pentlin <Floyd_Pentlin@ENTERPRISE.LEESUMMIT.K12.MO.US>]

Group --  I have a colleague who is interested in doing research on the World
Wide Web on the topic of paramilitary and neo-fascist organizations.  She is
not interested in them necessarily knowing that she visited their web site --
thus:

1) What kind of trail does one leave in visiting a site?  Can a person
determine which machine has visited a site by it's IP address?

2)  How hard is it for someone to alter the information on a web page by
someone who didn't create the web page?  Can someone purposely invalidate
statistics or text from a remote region?

Thanks, all you web whackers!
