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....

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.

...Modern browsers offer a wide range of features to improve and simplify the user experience. One of these features are the so-called favicons: A favicon is a small (usually 16×16 or 32×32 pixels) logo used by web browsers to brand a website in a recognizable way. Favicons are usually shown by most browsers in the address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks.

...OPFS uses some novel methods not well known before the publishing of this repo that allow the creation of a likely completely unique device fingerprint in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers. This also applies to Firefox as long as it is not resisting fingerprinting. The library is able to detect and mitigate the effects of browser-based anti-fingerprinting technologies introduced to certain browsers in the past few years with the release of Brave Browser and Safari 13.

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.
