TCP/IP fingerprint
Network-stack traits that can reveal a device’s OS, type, and connection characteristics.
A TCP/IP fingerprint is a collection of characteristics produced by a device’s network stack, such as TCP options, window sizes, and packet responses. These traits can provide clues about the operating system, device, or network implementation. In browser-profile management, mismatches between the TCP/IP profile and the claimed environment may appear anomalous.
