Splicer's CSS History Checker

[alpacino]

Now i see how i got banned from X264.me.

Remember, it's not a sure fire reason to have been banned, just enough reason, i.e. there are several other reasons.

@splicer: it worked for me using SR Iron, just did the Test1 and it knew I visited wikipedia

On the other hand, the other method that don't use javascript was only able to see some very old visited history of mine, it didn't detect recent 1 or 2 days visited, strange no? I let it scan for a long time.

I think it works on a hit and miss fashion - it can't read your history per se, only check if you've visited certain pages:

It actually works pretty simply - it is simpler than the Javascript implementation. All it does is load a page (in a hidden Iframe) which contains lots of links.

Anyway, to get rid of these "surprises", I configured my Firefox to erase all private data upon program exit, it appears Opera has a similar feature and SR Iron doesn't have it (in fact this browser has so few configs :\ ), Safari I didn't check yet.

Iron does have an option to clear private data, but not to run it upon exiting. But you could use the browser always in Incognito mode. Furthermore, you can run it with the --incognito command-line parameter to make it go straight to such mode on startup.

Confirmed, it works on Firefox 3.5. As already known, disabling history is enough to prevent the leak.

I think a good solution could be to use the jondofox profile (with "no proxy" enabled in order to not browse through Jondo network). Many anonymity features are automatically configurated, even at the DNS level.

I'll check it, thanks.

Have you tried it? Does it protect you against these tests? What about the "stealing your history without JS" you've posted?

Yes.

It successfully passes the css history check.

On my PC, Jondofox profile resists to the attack.
