Actually, a mockup such as that would be easily doable
using little more than a text editor and a web browser.
GIMP might be used to edit the images linked in the webpage
if desired, or the final image after capture for whatever
reason.
[1] Create desired page.
[2] Browse desired page in the browser of your choice.
[3] Carefully type in the website URL you want to claim crashed.
Do NOT hit Enter.
[4] Snapshot.
AFAICT this sort of fluffmummery will have people on all sides tearing
their hair out, since it's so easy to spoof such crashes.
- Those who have a legitimate claim: they've just been majorly
discredited and will get no satisfaction, because nobody
will believe them (at least, not without more evidence, such as
someone in the target IT department reproducing the crash).
- Those who want to fix the websites: they'll not know what
the problem is as their logs will show nothing, in many
cases.
- Those who want to play "spoofie". Hi. :-)
Whom do you trust?
