  • Browser Versions Carry 10.5 Bits of Identifying Information on Average [Forthcoming Blog Post]
    Browser versions carry 10.5 bits of identifying information on average [forthcoming blog post] Technical Analysis by Peter Eckersley This is part 3 of a series of posts on user tracking on the modern web. You can also read part 1 and part 2. Whenever you visit a web page, your browser sends a "User Agent" header to the website saying what precise operating system and browser you are using. We recently ran an experiment to see to what extent this information could be used to track people (for instance, if someone deletes their browser cookies, would the User Agent, alone or in combination with some other detail, be enough to re-create their old cookie?). Our experiment to date has shown that the browser User Agent string usually carries 5-15 bits of identifying information (about 10.5 bits on average). That means that on average, only one person in about 1,500 (210.5) will have the same User Agent as you. On its own, that isn't enough to recreate cookies and track people perfectly, but in combination with another detail like an IP address, geolocation to a particular ZIP code, or having an uncommon browser plugin installed, the User Agent string becomes a real privacy problem. User Agents: An Example of Browser Characteristics Doubling As Tracking Tools When we analyse the privacy of web users, we usually focus on user accounts, cookies, and IP addresses, because those are the usual means by which a request to a web server can be associated with other requests and/or linked back to an individual human being, computer, or local network.

Web 12, 4, Article 24 (November 2018), 30 1 pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/3231466 You, the Web and Your Device: Longitudinal Characterization of Browsing Habits LUCA VASSIO, Politecnico di Torino IDILIO DRAGO, Politecnico di Torino MARCO MELLIA, Politecnico di Torino ZIED BEN HOUIDI, Nokia Bell Labs MOHAMED LAMINE LAMALI, LaBRI, Université de Bordeaux Understanding how people interact with the web is key for a variety of applications – e.g., from the design of eective web pages to the denition of successful online marketing campaigns. Browsing behavior has been traditionally represented and studied by means of clickstreams, i.e., graphs whose vertices are web pages, and edges are the paths followed by users. Obtaining large and representative data to extract clickstreams is however challenging. The evolution of the web questions whether browsing behavior is changing and, by consequence, whether properties of clickstreams are changing. This paper presents a longitudinal study of clickstreams in from 2013 to 2016. We evaluate an anonymized dataset of HTTP traces captured in a large ISP, where thousands of households are connected. We rst propose a methodology to identify actual URLs requested by users from the massive set of requests automatically red by browsers when rendering web pages. Then, we characterize web usage patterns and clickstreams, taking into account both the temporal evolution and the impact of the device used to explore the web.
