Node.js Process Fingerprinter
JSON →The `node-fingerprint` package provides a straightforward utility for generating a unique identifier for a Node.js process instance. It computes this fingerprint by hashing a combination of the process ID (`pid`) and the hostname of the machine it's running on. This design is explicitly inspired by concepts found in `cuid` for generating short, unique IDs. The current stable version is 1.1.0, which was last published over a decade ago in August 2015, indicating that the project is no longer actively maintained. Its primary use case is for simple, local process identification within a single machine's context, rather than for global or persistent unique identifiers, or browser-based fingerprinting offered by other, more complex solutions like FingerprintJS. It distinguishes itself by its extreme simplicity and minimal dependencies, focusing solely on the OS-level process and host information.
