  • Telnet + Terminal fingerprinting!

    From Dingo@911:1919/0 to All on Thu Feb 5 13:51:43 2026
    I previously shared https://ucs-detect.readthedocs.io/results.html -- a
    list of now 34 terminal emulators and their capabilities. There is a
    strange side-effect of being able to collect all of this data -- that we
    may also *detect* what terminal you are using with very high
    certaintity.

    I have been working on https://telnetlib3.readthedocs.io/ a lot lately,
    and I revived an old scratch project, a "fingerprinting server". It's
    actually a lot more involved than I thought it'd be and took nearly a
    week to complete, but I now host this telnet server:

    telnet 1984.ws 555

    And it will automatically capture a fingerprint of your terminal
    and telnet client software, and, it can also uniquely identify a client
    and their preferences, and even specific builds and versions of the
    telnet clients and terminals in use. I made this test less exhaustive,
    to give results quicker, but its all parametrizable and available in the
    next release of telnetlib3.

    This is great, thanks for sharing again... I hadn't seen it; I've been using Warp, but all the AI, even when turned OFF, is still getting in my way. Maybe I'll give Ghostly a spin up...

    I've shared 'telnet 1984.ws' before; love that animation/art... checking out 555 now. What is this???

    and with this little development that I just added to tunerider

    https://mas.erb.pw/@hollowone/116046713264392455

    I just figured out this is easy and can be done in one evening.

    Having still image converted from rgba, having anim decoder is just a boiler plate.

    I think I'm hungry for a textmode demo.
