Comparing md5s of anything that contains timestamps is unlikely to match
across multiple checks.

Comparing md5s of anything that contains remote ports is unlikely to
match across multiple browser sessions.

Comparing md5s of anything that contains remote ip addresses is unlikely
to uniquely identify any sort of malicious user using proxies / tor etc.

Note - it's a lot easier to work out what won't work than to work out
what will.
