How to uniquely identify a computer?
Uniquely identify one computer
how would you remembers a computers regardless of ip, "browser" cookies, and browser itself. So It will recognize it once you use it from another browser, or ip address. Any ideas?
UPDATE
I found out that there is a possibility using flash cookies: it seems that it's shared across browsers and clearing the browser cookies does not remove it. my question now is how can I see my flash cookies and know if that is what facebook is doing?
- Ubiquitous availability (95 percent of visitors will probably have flash)
- You can store more data per cookie (up to 100 KB)
- Shared across browsers, so more likely to uniquely identify a machine
- Clearing the brow开发者_开发问答ser cookies does not remove the flash cookies. --Joeri Sebrechts
I suppose a flash cookie is a bit more cross browser and persists.
Facebook only remembers based on the cookie in your browser.
The proof to the pudding is if you login and then switch to a different browser, you are not logged in there.
