Dataset

Description

This dataset is the result of three crawls of the web performed in May 2018. The data contains raw crawl data and instrumentation captured by OpenWPM-Mobile, as well as analysis that identifies which scripts access mobile sensors, which ones perform some of browser fingerprinting, as well as clustering of scripts based on their intended use. The dataset is described in the included README.md file; more details about the methodology can be found in our ACM CCS'18 paper: Anupam Das, Gunes Acar, Nikita Borisov, Amogh Pradeep. The Web's Sixth Sense: A Study of Scripts Accessing Smartphone Sensors. In Proceedings of the 25th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS), Toronto, Canada, October 15–19, 2018.
