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.
