PC Browser and Android Applications Fingerprinting
This technical report summarizes results of the research focused on
identification of PC browsers and Android applications from network
communication. I review several fingerprinting methods and highlight their
advantages and disadvantages. I will then delve on web browser fingerprinting by
examining the values from TLS handshake, HTTP headers and DNS traffic. I discuss
the reliability and stability of this multi-OS profiling of web browsers. Chapter
3 focuses on JA3, a specific method for creating TLS fingerprints in an easy to
produce and shareable way. Based on previous research, I conduct various
experiments using datasets obtained from network communication to observe the
reliability of this approach in profiling web browsers and Android applications.
