Airdrop hunters may leverage IPFS to obfuscate device fingerprints by decentralizing data storage and masking unique identifiers. They could host spoofed fingerprint scripts (e.g., randomized User-Agent strings, canvas/WebGL noise) on IPFS, making detection harder as content isn’t tied to centralized servers. By routing requests through multiple IPFS gateways, they rotate IPs and HTTP headers dynamically, disrupting pattern-based tracking. Browser automation tools (like Puppeteer) might fetch fresh IPFS hashes per session to load unique fingerprint-altering code, resetting cookies and localStorage. Advanced methods include embedding IPFS-based WASM modules to manipulate hardware signatures (GPU/CPU fingerprints) at runtime. However, sustained evasion depends on avoiding behavioral anomalies (e.g., transaction timing, wallet patterns) that modern anti-Sybil systems monitor beyond basic fingerprints.
