What are the user details that a website/server could possibly know?




Tinku


While I'm browsing a well known website say Google, what are complete details of me that Google might know? I know that IP address (which specifies user's country and location), MAC address and PC-name (like John-PC) are the basic info that a technical server can know about the user.

I can change MAC address as well as PC-name very easily and a little hard to change the IP address.

But details like browser agent (like Firefox), LAN address, Original Network Address, computer's Operating system and many more that I don't know...

Is it possible to hide all of the complete details mentioned above?? Please give me complete knowledge that you know about.

Thank you very much!!!



Answer
if your wanting to hide this info then maybe consider a proxy server to go thru otherwise its built in and its hard to hide this info in most browsers. however there are tricks like the old Maxthon browser had an option for this and firefox you can hide the tabs and google chrome even has some functionality for this by using igcognito windows.
additionally you can get utilities like autoIt for this that work in the system if you can install them.
here are some links for that:

Answer
You can use SpywareNoMore.
As we all know Computer hackers seeking financial gain rather than thrills or notoriety are increasingly flooding the Internet with malicious software code (spyware, adware, key loggers, trojans). They are infecting computers with highly sophisticated programs that record surfing habits, bank passwords and other key financial data and send them to crooks over the Internet. These programs can be hard to spot, disguised in downloads such as toolbars, search engines, browser accessories, screen savers and other seemingly helpful utilities.

SpyNoMore anti-spyware safeguards your identity and restores system performance through fast, smart and powerful spyware protection.
