Digital Fingerprinting (DFP) Challenge Testing Manual

This manual provides instructions for testing the Digital Fingerprinting (DFP) challenge using the PDX repository.

Overview

  • Tests miner's ability to create unique digital fingerprints
  • Includes multi-device testing on the same network
  • Uses custom fingerprinting scripts for detection avoidance

Quick Start Guide

Prerequisites

  • Git (for cloning the repository)
  • Multiple devices on the same network (for testing)
  • Web browser access

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/RedTeamSubnet/rest.dfp-proxy.git
cd rest.dfp-proxy.git

Step 2: Provide Your Fingerprinting Script

  • Place your custom fingerprinting script into src/api/static/js/fingerprinter.js
  • Ensure your script implements the required fingerprinting methods

  • Ensure you can see fingerprint by console log. Here is the example:

    console.log("[Fingerprinter] Starting...");
console.log("[Fingerprinter] Generated fingerprint:", hash);
console.log("[Fingerprinter] Completed.");

Step 3: Setup Testing Environment

./scripts/setup-test-env.sh

Step 4: Test Your Script

  • Open the testing page on multiple devices within the same network
  • Verify that each device generates a unique fingerprint
  • Test the script's ability to avoid detection mechanisms

Testing Steps

  1. Single Device Test: Test your script on one device first to ensure basic functionality
  2. Multi-Device Test: Open the same page on different devices (phones, tablets, laptops) connected to the same network
  3. Fingerprint Uniqueness: Verify that each device produces a distinct fingerprint even with different browser

Important Notes

  • Make sure all devices are connected to the same network for accurate testing
  • The fingerprinting script should generate unique identifiers for each device
  • Test across different browsers and device types for comprehensive coverage
  • Monitor for any detection alerts or blocking mechanisms

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  1. Verify that the setup script completed successfully
  2. Check network connectivity between devices
  3. Test with different browsers if issues persist
  4. Check console logs for any JavaScript errors
