Shiny user fingerprint (md5 hash of browser characteristics) and ip address demo. The .R files are in the working directory ("./"), the .js files must be placed in ./www/js/ to be accessible. I wrote the R code, which I will release under the same WTF license as the jqfp.js library is released under.
// Browser fingerprinting is a technique to "mark" anonymous users using JS
// (or other things). To build an "identity" of sorts the browser is queried
// for a list of its plugins, the screen size and several other things, then
// hashes them. The idea is that these bits of information produce an unique
// "fingerprint" of sorts; the more elaborate the list of data points is, the
// more unique this fingerprint becomes. And you wouldn't even need to set a
// cookie to recognize this user when she visits again.
