There are a lot of trolls out there who are tech competent compared to regular forum members. Some of them are like resilient cockroaches.

It seems like Google Chrome is about to follow in the footsteps of Mozilla Firefox. I remember seeing an article regarding Google Chrome and blocking fingerprinting, but I cannot find it at the moment. Regardless, this is a sign for things to come. Would that essentially be the death of this plugin?

This probably needs some love @sam to bring it up to date. Should we mark it as broken for now?

I think it is semi-deprecated from my point of view since what it is trying to do is so difficult. What do you think @dan?

anon48433008 · 6 Luglio 2021, 2:47pm

Either mine is now working or I’m missing something, do fingerprints not show even if there’s no conflict?

(also the text reads odd “No similar signature were found.”)

no results

and setting made about a week back

Am I in error in how this works or do I need to address something?

Anyone?

WorldIsMine · 10 Luglio 2021, 7:12am

Not working on 2.7.4. Been checking every day for over 2 weeks now, it shows the same list of users every time.

anon73664359 · 10 Luglio 2021, 5:29pm

This is the nail in the coffin.

kynic · 11 Luglio 2021, 3:35pm

Same issue.

Not working in 2.8.0.beta2 also. It shows last seen when I seen of the user 26 may when I see in this plugin.

I thought it was only me.

dan · 12 Luglio 2021, 11:47am

Fingerprintjs2 script did not load after I updated it to the latest version. I pushed a fix and it should work fine now. Sorry for the issues!

Over the time, there have been many nails in the coffin and there are still ways to fingerprint browsers. From quickly skimming through the article you linked it looks like it is just a way to hide user’s IP and unfortunately that means fingerprinting is still a possibility (as it relies more on browser’s characteristics rather than the IP).

anon48433008 · 12 Luglio 2021, 11:56am

Did I miss enabling a permission or?

Mine’s not worked to date

Thank you for your help

volas · 12 Luglio 2021, 1:16pm

There is a way to repurpose plugin to something that will work with only server side information.

I was recommended this plugin in Discourse check the user IP for block list only on login. Discourse don’t really care about users IP, don’t ban user by IP by default (you need to do it manually), and about new user with same IP as banned one you can find only accidentally. Fingerprinting plugin not really helped me, because don’t check IP too.

Some overview page with users that have matching IP with banned accounts would be useful.

And also there is services like https://ip-api.com/ that allow to check if IP is proxy/vpn, can be another useful tool.

Besides IP discourse also have user email. I often see trolls with email from temporary email services, this can be indicator of a bad user too.

anon73664359 · 12 Luglio 2021, 1:45pm

Regardless, fingerprinting is becoming harder and harder these days. I cannot imagine it’ll be possible for much longer due to companies and people that are cautious about their privacy.

kynic · 12 Luglio 2021, 4:50pm

Thanks for the fix. Working now.

GVG · 15 Agosto 2021, 6:21am

Hello, please, clarify - can Admin see an all 20 characteristics for each user? Or only a mixed incomprehensible fingerprint numbers?

RGJ · 26 Maggio 2023, 6:46am

Sarebbe ben accetto un PR che renda questo plugin (opzionalmente) disponibile anche ai moderatori?

packman · 7 Dicembre 2023, 2:52pm

Sto vedendo un avviso di deprecazione di Ember per questo plugin. Penso di avere l’ultima versione (2.0) È qualcosa che verrà risolto prima del Giorno Ember5?

Ciao,

Non sono troppo sicuro se sia stato l’intero aggiornamento di Discourse. Tuttavia, c’era una parte in cui trovava automaticamente gli utenti che utilizzavano lo stesso indirizzo IP, ecc., come previsto. Ora è vuoto e devo cercare manualmente gli utenti. Con oltre 8.000 utenti, non è l’ideale.

Potrebbe essere esaminato, per favore, o ricadrà nella categoria di “rotto”?

Mr.X_Mr.X · 22 Aprile 2024, 11:01am

Interessato anche a questo plugin per identificare i socket puppets.

Jumanji · 25 Aprile 2024, 4:42pm

Intendi il plugin o le funzionalità di amministrazione di Discourse? Siamo sulla versione 3.1.4 e Discourse continua a mostrarci i membri che utilizzano lo stesso indirizzo IP utilizzando lo strumento di ricerca IP. È questo che intendi per ricerca manuale?

Sono più interessato a sapere se questo plugin è ancora in esecuzione sulla versione 3.1.
