Fingerprints

The hardware profiles Asphyxia uses to catch banned players returning on new accounts.

This page lists the hardware profile Asphyxia has stored for each player, and flags the ones belonging to banned accounts. It’s the raw data behind fingerprinting.

What’s stored

Characteristics of the player’s machine and setup — graphics hardware, screen properties, installed fonts, timezone, language, audio and video device counts, and a few derived hashes.

None of it identifies a person. Together it’s distinctive enough to recognise the same computer behind a different account.

Reading the table

Each row is one license, with when it was first seen and last updated, and whether it’s flagged as belonging to a banned account. Open one to see the full profile.

Search by license to check a specific player.

Using it

The main use is confirming a ban-evasion decision. When Asphyxia bans someone for a hardware match, the ban details name the original account — you can look up both profiles here and see for yourself how similar they are.

It’s also useful in reverse: if two players insist they’re different people on the same household PC, their profiles will show exactly how alike their setups are.

False positives

Two people genuinely sharing one computer will have near-identical profiles. If one of them gets banned and the other is caught as evasion, lift the wrongful ban from Bans — the original stays in place.

Asphyxia only acts on high-confidence matches, well above what unrelated players reach by coincidence, so this is uncommon. It isn’t impossible.
