Show HN: Fingerprint – See what data the browser exposes (IP, location, canvas)

https://fingerprint.goldenowl.ai/
2•sabi_soltani•5mo ago
Hi Hacker News,

We've always been fascinated and slightly alarmed by the amount of data our browsers silently expose to every website we visit. While many tools check for one or two things, we wanted to build a single, comprehensive dashboard to view everything in one place.

We created Fingerprint, a browser fingerprinting detector that analyzes data points to build a profile of your digital identity. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your online footprint so you can identify privacy risks and take steps to strengthen your digital security.

What it detects:

- IP & Network Analysis: It checks your public IPv4/IPv6 addresses, ISP, ASN, and geographic location. Crucially, it also runs checks to detect if you're using a VPN, Tor, or a known proxy service.

- System & Device: It reveals your operating system, CPU architecture, screen resolution, available memory, and even battery status.

- Browser Fingerprinting: This is the core of the tool. It tests for standard and advanced fingerprinting vectors, including:

Canvas & WebGL rendering

Installed fonts and browser plugins

AudioContext and hardware concurrency

Language, timezone, and other locale settings

- Security Headers & Capabilities: It analyzes HTTP headers and checks for modern browser security features like Sec-CH-UA (Client Hints).

- Storage & Permissions: Checks the available storage mechanisms (e.g., cookies, localStorage) and the permissions granted.

You can check it out here: https://fingerprint.goldenowl.ai/

We'd love for you to try it out and give us your feedback. How unique is your fingerprint? Does it correctly identify your setup (especially if you're using privacy tools)? What other fingerprinting vectors should we add next?

Thanks for looking!
