  • Nikiforakis found 40 sites among top 10k sites - font probing and flash
  • Acar et al found:
  • 404 sites in top million - javascript-based fingerprinting
  • 145 of top 10k flash-based

And there are more papers with similar claims - lets add data from our dataset to these learnings.

The work from @willougr has been posted: https://github.com/mozilla/overscripted/tree/master/analyses/2019_03_willougr_fingerprinting_implementation_sixth_sense - it has a small bug in it so if you're trying to run it yourself you may need to fix up the variable names for the data file path - but other than that it's good. This applies the heuristics used for detecting audio, canvas, font, and webrtc by the Sixth Sense paper to the OverScripted dataset.

@shruthi0898 if you still want to work on this we should probably chat about it in more detail on the gitter channel (https://gitter.im/overscripted-discuss/community) to firm up exactly what you might want to look at.
