Why Choose This Project

In modern web security, browser fingerprinting is increasingly used by malicious actors for tracking users, bypassing privacy measures, or profiling visitors. Traditional methods of detecting suspicious activities often miss subtle browser-based anomalies. This project provides a web-based platform to monitor and analyze browser fingerprints, helping organizations detect potential fraud, bot activity, or suspicious logins. It’s perfect for security analysts, e-commerce sites, and SaaS platforms concerned with user privacy and fraud prevention.

What You Get

• A dashboard for real-time monitoring of browser fingerprints.

• Capture browser attributes such as user-agent, screen resolution, installed plugins, timezone, and more.

• Detect anomalies or duplicate fingerprints indicative of bot activity or fraud.

• Alerts and notifications for suspicious browser behavior.

• Optional user login system for secure access.

• Export monitoring reports for auditing or investigation purposes.

Working Flow

1. User Visit or Login

   • When a user visits the site or logs in, the browser fingerprint is collected.

2. Fingerprint Generation

   • Capture attributes like user-agent, screen resolution, installed plugins, fonts, canvas hash, and timezone.

3. Backend Analysis

   • Compare new fingerprint with existing entries.

   • Detect duplicates or unusual patterns (e.g., multiple users from same fingerprint, impossible locations).

4. Dashboard Display

   • Visualize browser statistics, geographic distribution, and anomalies.

   • Highlight suspicious fingerprints for review.

5. Alerts & Reporting

   • Notify admin/security team of suspicious fingerprints.

   • Export logs for further investigation.
