Identification by web site

Aug 8th, 2005

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand how asite can know that I open in it 2 acounts when I connect to the internet with 2 differents IP address, but using the same computer.
Are computers identified by web apps and web sites.
I'm talking about identifiers other then cookies, as these can be easily deleted.
Where would I be able to find some more info about computer identification on the internet?

Rosh :rolleyes:

One thread is more than enough. thank you.

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple
