+Kwakd is a very small foot print web server written in C
+that serves blank html pages for any request. The request
+can be arbitrary, may even be invalid, but only its first
+line will be read and the response will be the same: a blank
+page consisting of "<html> </html>". It is quite easy to
+change the response to whatever you like though. Kwakd can
+be handy if you want to intercept traffic from your client
+(web browser for example) to annoying sites and direct all
+such traffic to your local machine.
+
+By default kwakd uses port 8000, but this can be changed in
+the provided initscript by changing the port option.
+See /etc/rd.c/rc.kwakd
