What's this?

This is a server-client app that shows your digital browser fingerprint and stores it, so it can be compared with others users browser fingerprint.

The project has the following components:

• Front end website: Gets all information about the user as possible without any dialog, makes a fingerprint and send that information to the backend
• Backend:
  • Nodejs: Ensures that the format is correct and stores the data into an elasticsearch database
  • Elasticsearch: Is our database choice
  • Kibana: Provides a front-end to see statistics and queries.

All these components run in it's docker container and we need a nginx proxy because kibana don't support authentication and we don't want to expose the statistics dashboard to the mases.

Running the thing

  # [optional]You can use your own version of the fp-demo if you build it like this
  docker build fp-demo -t diegoreico/fp-demo
  
  # Then just us docker-compose to create all the containers
  docker-compose up -d

Uninstall

 docker-compose down

---

Using the thing

Front-end

You should access to the front-end in the following url:

http://localhost:1337/node/

The front-end is not so pretty but it should provide you some info about your browser:

dashboard

The URL is:

http://localhost:1337/kibana/

Default password is admin and user is admin

Change by doing:

htcpasswd -c passwd <username>

Overwrite the file before creating the containers

About

The Schema

The schema of the database is defined in NodeJS using node-schema-object that lets us ensure that users cannot insert random objects to the database

The insertion

We'll use the node elasticsearch connector to help us insert the data into the database.

Todo

1. Delete all of the "trangalladas"
2. Using docker-compose to truly orchestate the thing:

• fpdemo_node has a slep in order to wait for elasticsearch
