Do you know that Google+,Facebook & twitter can follow your each & every move when you are online irrespective of whether you are in their website or not?The answer is yes.It can be implied that the Advertising Giants have actually went on & implemented SuperCookie,a modified version of Cookie.Read more about SuperCookie here.Also there is another rumor that Google,Facebook might even try to implement History Stealing using SuperCookie & UberCookies by tracking our private details from log-in credentials to browsing sessions even after leaving the corresponding website,which means if any one of these companies wants to know about you- what you do online-its just a matter of simple search & cookie implementation & Viola you have been exposed.
The only way to fool Google would be by using Hide-Ip services although they can be annoyingly slow & might take ages to load sites which drink lots of internet cycles.using Track-Me-not plug-ins(For Firefox Only) might sends random search queries to Google there by providing a much more elaborate search list which would make Google almost difficult to differentiate your search query from the script.Also when you are Googling make sure you jump from one topic to another rather than search for the same topic continuously.Coupling that with using Gmail via IMAP and not using any log-in credentials @ any Google service will drastically reduce the chances of tracing & identity theft.
Most of you would have known about the Cookies.Now that Cookies are undergoing Evolution,its better I highlight you about what we are up against:
- Cookies: The most fundamental & Archaic tracking device used to keep tabs on any users browsing activity in the internet as long as he hasn't left the websites domain.Remember Cookies are made by the website,written into by the website and finally destroyed by the website once the user leaves that page or Site.There may be some rudimentary remains which you can remove using Ccleaner or manually in the Temp folder.All it does is to track who you are and when you visited last time etc and also your personal details if you made it available to them for instance when your log into a site.
- SuperCookies: Imagine a Cookie which can keep tabs on you even after you left a website, track you across multiple website boundaries,and if you EVER manage to delete it has the power to regenerate or respawn the cookie instantly?Well thats SuperCookie.These guys are so difficult to trace that its difficult to trace and locate and a newbie has 0% of ever discovering it.Based on existing "Browser FingerPrinting" technology or in simpler terms Your Browser is your enemy,it sure does pack a punch.Since basic Cookies are easy to track and delete,there was a huge demand from the Advertising Industry to come up with a more robust tracking device capable of Infringing the privacy gate of each & every user there by pulling the curtains on User Anonymity.For more on this read This & also This .
- UberCookies: This is probably the most potent & most dangerous tracker to be device.This is based on the concept of "Identity uncovering & History Stealing".You must be familiar with the term "Sniffing".This is just another loophole in the web which allows Websites or Sniffers to track your recent Web Histories and what it does is it executes hidden Javacript & Css exploitations which involves altering Link Visited & Colors etc.For Instance any Yes/No or Stay on Page or Leave Button will almost definitely trigger a javascript onClick function which will run some malicious script which will compromise your security almost severely. Currently as of now Firefox is the only browser which has privacy browsing enabled & it kinda holds solid when it comes to security.And with FireFox 7 & Firefox 8 just released you might want to give it a try.
So I guess that's all for now and I will update this post when the SuperUberCookie Hits the market :)
You must have hear heard about SuperCookies?In case you haven't,please take a look here.The Internets "next big thing" has managed to attract the attention of almost all the Advertising Giants in the Internet from Google's Adsense to Addynamo To Infolinks and almost every single one of them has been eager to implement it in their repository.There's only one thing which is preventing them from Implementing-Lawyers have questioned the legality of such a dangerous device in the hands of wrong kind and will not approve unless they themselves are allowed to scrutinize it themselves.
SuperCookies are so incredibly powerful that its invisible to the all-seeing eyes of Cookie cleaners and will keep tabs on you no matter what ever precautions you take.So the next time you stick your neck out to view some Adult sites,better go to a browsing center or think again.Remember some of them have regenerating capabilities which makes them impossible to destroy.The only way you can destroy is by isolating yourself from the Web which is something which we can never do.Life was much Simpler when Apples & Blackberry's were just fruits.
Advertising agencies will not only able to track your activities, but they can also record and catalog it even after you have left a particular website for hours or even days.Also if you are an Ad Publisher yourself with Google's Adsense or Chitika,think about using Hiding Ip softwares to earn a few clicks as it will also be recorded into the SuperCookies which will result in your inevitable ban. Also Cyber Vigilante's can also track you illegal activities pertaining to any DMCA(Digital Millennium Copyright Act) activity violations especially the Warez & Torrent which will earn you a one way ticket to the Pen.Its Just a matter of time till this is Implemented. Or has it already?
