A research project from Johns Hopkins implementing cross-browser fingerprinting that identifies users across different browsers on the same machine using OS and hardware-level features like GPU, CPU, and installed fonts/scripts. It consists of a JavaScript client-side fingerprint collector and a Python Flask backend server.
Use cases
- collect browser fingerprints for research
- study cross-browser user tracking techniques
- demonstrate fingerprinting attacks on privacy
- test how hardware and OS features leak identity across browsers
- deploy a fingerprinting demo server
When to choose
- you are a privacy/security researcher studying fingerprinting
- you need to reproduce the NDSS'17 cross-browser tracking paper
- you want a working demo of hardware-level fingerprint collection
When to avoid
- you need production-grade, maintained fingerprinting code
- you want to protect users from tracking rather than study it
- you cannot work with Python 2-era dependencies
