Important point. Better to let everyone see the truth of evercookie than let the bad guys enjoy it in the dark.
Still, with it all packed up so tidily, a few rascals will do something interesting with it.
Also now that it's packed up so tidily, we'll probably get some better tools for blocking/removing all of those tricks. Think of it like an Acid3 test for browser security.
That's a good perspective. It's my fervent hope someone names their tool everenema.
I humbly suggest "Everclear"
"Milk"?
Isn't it trivial to change his script to remove the cookies? I should have a look into that.
Putting IE in private browsing mode defeats it btw, so it's definitely doable.
Oh wow, putting Firefox in private browsing mode did not defeat it. That'll probably get fixed pretty quickly, I hope.
