In that case, forget it.

The Panopticlick demo isn't intended as something to emulate in
practice, but rather as something to be aware of. It works best on
visitors who don't know or don't care about how much information they
divulge. When I visit the demo site with all of the default plugins
enabled, I'm a unique snowflake. On the other hand, if I wanted to hide,
I'd turn plugins and scripting off for that site, and maybe go through a
proxy, and then I'm just one in a million.

If you target your troll too closely, he can trivially evade your
filter. If your constraints are too loose, you'll hit some legitimate
visitors. There's just no way you can win this battle by fingerprinting
the troll.

Forget it.

regards,
5er
