I Implemented a HSTS Super Cookie
Creates a HSTS Supercookie to fingerprint a browser - ben174/hsts-cookie
I Implemented a HSTS Super Cookie launched on January 13, 2016 with 20 votes, #1,988 of 4,522 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 10 years on.
In plain words
This project demonstrates how HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) headers can be exploited to create a super cookie that persists across browser sessions and private browsing modes. It fingerprints browsers by storing data in HSTS preload lists, making it difficult for users to clear. The tool is intended for security researchers and developers interested in browser privacy vulnerabilities and tracking mechanisms.
