Original Abstract

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.
