USER_AGENT consistency
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:50 pm
Hi.
I am trying to develop a login script whose security partially relies on USER_AGENT consistency from request to request. Recently I've discovered that people use applications that cycle through a list of proxies every N minutes/seconds to stay anonymous. Logically my thinking is, this proxy jumping will affect USER_AGENT consistency but I cannot be sure as I started programming websites not too long ago.
Could someone confirm or deny my concerns?
Thanks a lot.
