SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING INTERNET ANONYMITY VIA CLIENT FINGERPRINT
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.
1 . A system, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
receive a message from a first device,
wherein the message is an initial message in a set of messages between the first device and a second device, and
wherein the message is associated with a set of data components in a first format associated with the first device;
modify, based on a fingerprint that is associated with the second device, the set of data components from the first format to a second format associated with the second device;
selectively enable access to one or more modified data components specified in the modified set of data components; and
modify, based on the one or more modified data components, additional messages of the set of messages from the first device to the second device.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of data components are modified to the fingerprint, and
wherein the fingerprint is one that conforms closest to the fingerprint of the first device from a plurality of fingerprints that are associated with a plurality of second devices including the second device.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the set of data components are modified periodically.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more components specified in the modified set of data components are associated with library components.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
filter, based on analyzing the fingerprint, network traffic associated with the first device.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the modification of the set of data components occurs during negotiation of a cryptographic protocol.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein information associated with the fingerprint includes information associated with at least one of:
a client cipher suite list,
a list of compression methods, or
a list of supported extensions.
8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of one or more devices, cause the one or more devices to:
receive a message from a first device,
wherein the message is an initial message in a set of messages between the first device and a second device, and
wherein the message is associated with a set of data components in a first format associated with the first device;
modify, based on a fingerprint that is associated with the second device, the set of data components from the first format to a second format associated with the second device;
selectively enable access to one or more modified data components specified in the modified set of data components; and
modify, based on the one or more modified data components, additional messages of the set of messages from the first device to the second device.
9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the set of data components are modified to the fingerprint, and
wherein the fingerprint is one that conforms closest to the fingerprint of the first device from a plurality of fingerprints that are associated with a plurality of second devices including the second device.
10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the set of data components are modified periodically.
11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more components specified in the modified set of data components are associated with library components.
12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more instructions further cause the one or more devices to:
filter, based on analyzing the fingerprint, network traffic associated with the first device.
13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the modification of the set of data components occurs during negotiation of a cryptographic protocol.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein information associated with the fingerprint includes information associated with at least one of:
a client cipher suite list,
a list of compression methods, or
a list of supported extensions.
15 . A method, comprising:
receiving, by one or more devices, a message from a first device,
wherein the message is an initial message in a set of messages between the first device and a second device, and
wherein the message is associated with a set of data components in a first format associated with the first device;
modifying, based on a fingerprint that is associated with the second device, the set of data components from the first format to a second format associated with the second device;
selectively enabling, by the one or more devices, access to one or more modified data components specified in the modified set of data components; and
modifying, based on the one or more modified data components, additional messages of the set of messages from the first device to the second device.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the set of data components are modified to the fingerprint, and
wherein the fingerprint is one that conforms closest to the fingerprint of the first device from a plurality of fingerprints that are associated with a plurality of second devices including the second device.
