  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING INTERNET ANONYMITY VIA CLIENT FINGERPRINT
    Publication number: 20240031408
    Abstract: A system and method for altering client fingerprint that includes editing data components of network communication from a client device to a server, which comprises editing network protocol data from the client during negotiation of a cryptographic protocol; selectively enabling access to library components specified in the edited client network protocol data; and sending a client communication to the server using the edited client network protocol data.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 29, 2023
    Publication date: January 25, 2024
    Inventor: Shawn BRACKEN
  • SYSTEM AND METHOD OF FILTERING INTERNET TRAFFIC VIA CLIENT FINGERPRINT
    Publication number: 20230403275
    Abstract: A system and method that includes receiving a client data packet from network traffic with a client device; extracting a set of packet components from the client data packet; generating a client fingerprint from the set of packet components; assigning a client type to the network traffic using the client fingerprint; and optionally filtering the network traffic of the client device based at least in part on the client type.
