Waxaan horey ugu qornay farta browserka^{(Browser Fingerprinting)} halkaasoo ay suurtagal tahay in mareegaha ay ogaadaan qofka booqanaya. Farta taraafikadda ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)} ama sawir-qaadista taraafikada waa hab la mid ah. Waxay u ogolaataa qolo saddexaad inay kugu soo dhacaan oo ay fikrad ka helaan waxaad ku samaynayso internetka^(Internet) . Maqaalku wuxuu sharxayaa sida ay suurtogal u tahay ka dibna ka hadlaya haddii ay khatar tahay.

Sawir-qaadista Gaadiidka ee Mareegta

Farta-faraha gaadiidka ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)} waa hab lagu go'aamiyo goorta iyo waxa uu isticmaaluhu ku sameeyo internetka^(Internet) . Isticmaalaha su'aasha laga yaabaa inuu isticmaalayo wakiil ama tunnel ammaan ah VPN , encryption, iwm. Laakiin weli, waa suurtogal in la go'aamiyo isticmaalka qofka ee internetka^(Internet) iyada oo la dulmayo xirmooyinka xogta u safraya iyo soo socda ee internetka^(Internet) .

Xataa Shabakadda TOR^{(TOR Network)} (The Basasha Router^{(Onion Router)} ) ayaa sheegaysa in ay suurtagal tahay in dambiilayaasha ay go'aamiyaan waxyaabaha ay sameynayaan isticmaaleyaasheeda. Balooggeeda, TOR waxay sheegtay in xogta la sir yahay oo la sii gudbiyo. Dhammaanteen waan ognahay inay jiraan meelo badan oo shabakada TOR ah si aysan mas'uuliyiintu ula socon isticmaalayaasha. Laakin markaas, faraha mareegaha ayaa soo galaysa. TOR sidoo kale, xirmooyinka xogtu waa u nugul yihiin ilaa ay ka gaaraan marinka koowaad ee shabakada TOR . Macluumaadkan si fudud ayaa loo heli karaa. Haddii mas'uuliyiinta ama dembiilayaasha ay dejiyaan nood badan oo TOR ah^(TOR)shabakada, waxaa jira fursado badan oo xog ah oo iyaga dhex mara. Marka ay arrimahan oo kale dhacaan, waxay snoopers jeexjeexaan sirta si ay u ogaadaan halka baakadaha xogta ay ku socdaan.

Laakiin daabacaadda faraha gaadiidka ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)} kuma saabsana browserka TOR^{(TOR browser)} oo keliya . Waxa ay ku saabsan tahay sida ay dadku kuugu khiyaameeyaan si ay u ogaadaan waxaad ka samaynayso internetka^(Internet) iyo sida ay uga faa'iidaystaan ​​macluumaadkaas.

Maxaa dhiirigaliya daabacaadda faraha gaadiidka ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)}

Sida laga soo xigtay TorProject ,

“The exact motivation for this effort on behalf of the adversary is typically not specified, but there seem to be three possibilities, in order of increasing difficulty for the adversary:

1. Cadawgu waxa uu xiisaynayaa in uu xannibo qaababka taraafikada boggaga internetka ee faafreebka ah, isaga oo wali ka tagaya inta kale ee Tor-sida taraafikada oo aan la jebin (laga yaabee sababta oo ah lakabka baakadka Tor ayaa u eg shay sharci ah oo uu cadawgu doonayo in uu iska ilaaliyo xannibaadda). FIIRO GAAR AH: Waxaad ku beddeli kartaa TOR taraafikada kale ee qarsoon.

2. Cadowga ayaa xiisaynaya in uu aqoonsado dhammaan isticmaalayaasha booqda bogag yar oo gaar ah oo la beegsaday.

3. Cadawgu waxa uu danaynayaa in uu aqoonsado bogag kasta oo isticmaale ahi soo booqdo.

Sidee buu u shaqeeyaa daabacaadda faraha gaadiidka ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)} ?

Faraha^(Website) taraafigga ee mareegaha, ama si fudud 'faraha taraafigga', waxay ku shaqeysaa dhammaadka macmiilka. Taasi waa, snoopers-ku waxay baraan xirmooyinka xogta ee soo galaya iyo ka baxaya mareegaha. Sidii hore loo sheegay, waxay noqon kartaa nin suuqgeyn ah oo xiisaynaya inuu ogaado noocyada shabakadaha ay helaan aragtiyo badan - ama waxay noqon kartaa qaar ka mid ah maamulka raadraaca dhaqdhaqaaqyadaada xitaa haddii aad isku daydo wakiil, VPN ama qaabab kale oo ammaan ah.

Habka ay xogtu uga baxdo oo ay u gasho mareegaha waxa ay wax badan ka sheegtaa waxa la daawado, la kaydiyo ama la soo dejiyo. Haddii xirmooyinka xogtu ay aad u weyn yihiin oo wakhtiga u dhexeeya sii daynta uu aad u sarreeyo, waxay muujinaysaa in isticmaaluhu uu ku sugan yahay goobta fiidyaha qaarkood.

Sidoo kale, haddii xirmooyinka xogtu ay yihiin kuwo aad u yar oo ka taga website-ka wakhti aad u hooseeya, waxay noqon kartaa mareegaha emailka, ama qof akhriya bogga internetka.

Iyada oo ku saleysan qaababkan, qofku wuu fahmi karaa waxa socda. Laakiin ilaa ay jebiyaan sirta, ma ogaan karaan xogta gaarka ah ee la wareejinayo.

Khatarta Farta Gaadiidka ee Mareegta^{(Website Traffic Fingerprinting)}

Khatarta kaliya ee dilaaga ah ayaa ah in sawirka faraha taraafikada ee mareegaha laga yaabo inuu qariyo aqoonsigaaga. Sinaba uma xadi doonto xogtaada haddii aad isticmaalayso VPN ama qaabab kale oo qarsoodi ah. Ujeedada ugu weyni waa in la ogaado isticmaalaha iyo waxa danihiisa internetka^(Internet) . Habka waxaa inta badan loo adeegsadaa baakado sir ah si loo hubiyo in wax sharci darro ah la sameynayo. U malayn maayo in loo isticmaali karo wax kale. Looma baahnid inaad argagaxdo haddii aad isticmaalayso xidhiidho qarsoon.

Tan sare waa aragtidayda ku saabsan Farta Gaadiidka ee Mareegta. Haddii aad rabto inaad wax ku darto, fadlan samee.^{(This above is my take on Website Traffic Fingerprinting. If you feel like adding something, please do.)}

What is Website Traffic Fingerprinting? How to protect yourself?

We had earlier wrіtten on Browser Fingerprinting where it was possible for websites to know who is the person visiting them. Website Traffic Fingerprinting or traffic fingerprinting is a similar method. It allows third parties to snoop on you and get an idea of what you do on the Internet. The article explains how it is possible and then talks if it is dangerous.

Website Traffic Fingerprinting

Website Traffic Fingerprinting is a method to determine when and what a user does on the Internet. The user in question may be using a proxy or a secure tunnel VPN, encryption, etc. But still, it is possible to determine the person’s usage of the Internet via snooping on the data packets traveling to and fro on the Internet.

Even TOR Network (The Onion Router) says it is possible for criminals to decode things being done by its users. In its blog, TOR said that data is encrypted and sent forward. We all know there are many nodes in the TOR network so that authorities cannot track the users. But then, website fingerprinting comes in. For TOR also, the data packets are vulnerable until they reach the first node in the TOR network. This information can easily be obtained. If the authorities or criminals set up multiple nodes on the TOR network, there are high chances of data passing through them. When such things happen, they snoopers rip off the encryption to know where the data packets are going.

But Website Traffic Fingerprinting is not only about the TOR browser. It is about how people snoop on you to know what you are doing on the Internet and how they make use of that information.

What motivates Website Traffic Fingerprinting

According to the TorProject,

“The exact motivation for this effort on behalf of the adversary is typically not specified, but there seem to be three possibilities, in order of increasing difficulty for the adversary:

1. The adversary is interested in blocking specific censored webpage traffic patterns, while still leaving the rest of the Tor-like traffic unmolested (perhaps because Tor’s packet obfuscation layer looks like something legitimate that the adversary wants to avoid blocking). NOTE: You may replace TOR with any other encrypted traffic.

2. The adversary is interested in identifying all of the users that visit a small, specific set of targeted pages.

3. The adversary is interested in recognizing every single web page a user visits.”

How does Website Traffic Fingerprinting work?

Website traffic fingerprinting, or simply ‘traffic fingerprinting’, works on the client end. That is, snoopers study the data packets entering and leaving a website. As said earlier, it could just be a marketing guy who is interested in knowing what types of websites get more views – or it can be some authority tracking your moves even if you try a proxy, VPN or other forms of secure browsing.

The way data leaves and enters a website says a lot about what is being viewed, buffered or being downloaded. If the data packets are huge and the time interval among releases is too high, it indicates that the user is on some video site.

Likewise, if the data packets are pretty small and leave the website at a very low interval, it could be an email website, or someone just reading a website.

Based on these patterns, one can understand what is going on. But unless they break the encryption, they can’t know about the specific data being transferred.

Dangers of Website Traffic Fingerprinting

The only deadly danger is that website traffic fingerprinting might blow off your identity. It won’t steal your data in any way if you are using VPN or other forms of encryption. The main purpose is to know the user and what are his/her interests on the Internet. The method is mainly used for encrypted packets to check if something illegal is being done. I do not think it can be used for anything else. There is no need to panic if you are using encrypted connections.
