FingerprintJS is a source-available, client-side, browser fingerprinting library that queries browser attributes and computes a hashed visitor identifier from them. Unlike cookies and local storage, a fingerprint stays the same in incognito/private mode and even when browser data is purged. Since FingerprintJS processes and generates the fingerprints from within the browser itself, the accuracy is limited (40% - 60%). For example, when 2 different users send requests using identical (i.e....

ThumbmarkJS is an MIT-licensed browser fingerprinting library that produces stable fingerprints with 90% uniqueness. It works with normal and private browsing. ThumbmarkJS is a free, open‑source browser fingerprinting JavaScript library, designed as an alternative to FingerprintJS. It generates distinct, persistent device fingerprints using web APIs like canvas, audio, fonts, WebGL, and more, enabling identification of browsers across sessions, even in incognito or cleared-cache...

PhantomCollect is an advanced educational web data collection framework built for ethical cybersecurity research and privacy analysis. It runs a local web server that collects general technical data from visitors — such as IP, geolocation (with consent), device specs, browser info, network status, and battery level — and displays results in real time through the terminal interface.

Supercookie uses favicons to assign a unique identifier to website visitors. Unlike traditional tracking methods, this ID can be stored almost persistently and cannot be easily cleared by the user. The tracking method works even in the browser's incognito mode and is not cleared by flushing the cache, closing the browser or restarting the operating system, using a VPN or installing AdBlockers. The demo of "supercookie", as well as the publication of the source code of this repository, is...

This project is a proof of concept that any website can identify and track you, even if you are using private browsing or incognito mode in your web browser. Many people think that they can hide their identity if they are using private browsing or incognito mode. This project will prove that they are wrong.
