EpicTracker

Demo: https://epictracker.now.sh

• It is a demontstration project of how can I track you using fingerprinting and some automated lookups and stuff.
• It uses modern Javascript APIs to intentify your metadata and generates an SHA-1 hash based on it. The hash can be used to further identify the browser even after clearing the cache or using the demo in private browsing mode.
• I may create dummy marketing services in future to demonstrate the (targeted ads) tracking process close to the realworld.

Attention

I'm not collecting any private user information. The only string collected is the SHA-1 hash which can NOT be reversed to get the actual data. So stop asking me if now I know your mom's name.

What Information is used ?

• Your operating system information.
• Browser information.
• CPU and GPU information.
• Your IP address.
• Your rough location. (Based on the IP address).
• Your internet provider name.
• Your timezone.
• Device rotation.
• Device Acceleration.
• Weather information of your area.

How can we stop you from tracking us?

• Use A VPN [your information wont be visible but probably I will detect if you are using one ;) ]
• Find ways to disable fingerprinting in your browser, which is tough.

Is this illegal ?

• No.

How can I stop Google and Facebook from tracking us?

• You Can't

Current Arch-

I use some javascript APIs which is listed in the client folder, as index.js and sends to to a HEROKU backend, the source is in the index.js of the root directory. The server takes in your IP and does a quick IP lookup, weather lookup, and SHA indentification.
