Original fingerprintjs library was developed in 2012, it's now impossible to evolve it without breaking backwards compatibilty, so this project will be where all the new development happens.

This project will use significantly more sources for fingerprinting, all of them will be configurable, that is it should be possible to cherry-pick only the options you need or just enable them all.

I'm also paying special attention to IE plugins, popular in China, such as QQ, Baidu and others.

This project will not be backwards compatible with original fingerprintjs.

new Fingerprint2().get(function(result){
  console.log(result);
});

var options = {swfPath: '/assets/FontList.swf', excludeUserAgent: true};
new Fingerprint2(options).get(function(result){
  console.log(result);
});

Full list of options will be in the wiki. (wip)

To use flash font enumeration, make sure you have swfobject available. If you don't, the library will skip the flash part entirely.

You can view your browser fingerprint locally by starting a webserver and viewing the index.html page. Loading index.html from the filesystem won't work due to Flash's ExternalInterface security restrictions.

To start a web server you can use either Ruby:

ruby -run -e httpd . -p 8080

or Python

# will load on port 8000
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

• Multi-monitor detection,
• silverlight integration,
• Flash linux kernel version,
• Internal HashTable implementation detection
• and many more.

• Download Adobe Flex SDK from: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex-sdk-download.html
• Unzip it, add the bin/ directory to your $PATH (mxmlc binary should be in path)
• Run "make"
