38% of CISOs Fear They’re Not Moving Fast Enough on AI
CISOs are racing to adopt AI for cybersecurity, but hurdles in budgets and governance may leave some falling behind in the fight against cyber threats.
Fast browser and server library for fingerprinting with no dependencies. Uses SHA512.
npm install eight
NPM
//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/eight@<VERSION>/eight.js
CND
How does it work?
console.info(require("eight")()) // Node.js
console.info(window.eight()()) // IE6+ browser
> E9D0C22416262B2F51A4402318060A206620BED2
import eight from "eight"
const fingerprint = eight({
hash: "ripe160", // <sha512 || sha256 || ripe160>
resolution: true, // <boolean>
flash: true, // <boolean>
plugins: true, // <boolean>
strong: false // <boolean>
})
fingerprint()
// E9D0C22416262B2F51A4402318060A206620BED2
fingerprint({ ip: "187.30.93.12" })
// 2416262B2F51A4402318060A206620BED2E9D0C2
fingerprint({ ip: "39.120.11.2" })
// 4402318060A206620BED2E9D0C22416262B2F51A
It's possible to customize fingerprinting with own parameters which are passed as params. This way anything (like cookies, ip adress or username) can be considered.
fingerprint({ ip: "133.98.32.55" })
// 2416262B2F51A4402318060A206620BED2E9D0C2
fingerprint({ cookies: JSON.stringify(cookies) })
// 20BED2E9D0C22416262B2F51A4402318060A2066
fingerprint({ whatever: "ABCDEF" })
// F51A4402318060A206620BED2E9D0C22416262B2
Eight is semi-private (with security through obscurity in mind) and obfuscated so it's harder to protect against. Is licenced under MIT.
