RAS is useless? #52

Closed mt2012 closed 10 years ago

mt2012 commented 10 years ago
  1. check your fingerprint here: http://fingerprint.pet-portal.eu/
  2. then restart browser, clear anything (even you can try reinstall browser), use new RAS profile.
  3. check your fingerprint again, it will be same.

Solution: Learn from their FF addon here: http://fingerprint.pet-portal.eu/?menu=6

they bypass this test by randomizing timezone, screen resolution, platform name, language code.

Hello @mt2012

That site is using ipaddress and screen dimensions and time zone. There is no way to spoof screen dimensions and time zone from within firefox as it gets the values from your os. I already set the language to en_US for all users and spoof the platform.

It does not mean the addon is useless. it does work but there is always work to be done. I want to add timezone and screen dimensions to the addon but I have yet to find a way to do it from within firefox.

please take a look from their addon: http://fingerprint.pet-portal.eu/files/firegloves-1.2.3.xpi

how can this addon randomize screen dimensions and time zone?

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

@mt2012 Thank you. I will have a look at that addon and get back to you.

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

@mt2012 I have managed to get the timezone spoofing :) . I will now try to get the screen dimensions spoofing too. I will keep you updated on the progress.

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

Timezone spoofing has been added with #53 with options to set it as the default , set it as undefined (none), set it randomly or set a specific one. I am still trying to spoof the screen dimensions.

mt2012 commented 10 years ago

Thanks dill, thats a great progress!

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

@mt2012 timezone spoofing will be available in the next release 0.9 Which I hope to release soon. I have yet to get the screen size spoofing but I will keep trying and add it in a future version if I get it working. I am closing this issue now and the screen dimensions progress can be tracked in #47

dillbyrne commented 10 years ago

@mt2012 Mozilla will not fully approve the timezone modifications in their current form. So I will have to take that functionality out of the version hosted on the official addons site, but you can still use the version hosted on here with the support for it. https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/releases/download/0.9/random-agent-spoofer.xpi

I will have to find another way to do it as well as the screen spoofing.

@mt2012 I have found another way to do it and I managed to get the screen stuff spoofing and it beat the test above and on browserspy

I may need to maintain the screen and timezone offset code on github as I'm not sure if mozilla will allow the addon to pass a full review with it. See #47 for an updates on the screen spoofing
