In addition to your IP address projected above, Project IP lists just
about everything a webserver can find out about your computer. Enjoy!

| Your IP address | 38.103.63.16 | The IP address of the computer actually making the connection to this server. If you are using a proxy, this will be the proxy server's address. |
Hostname for
38.103.63.16 | 38.103.63.16 | Hostname associated with this IP address. |
| Your country | United States
 | This is the country (and it's flag) that you are currently in. † (If available) |
| Using a proxy server? | Inconclusive | If you are using a proxy, it is in stealth mode and doesn't identify itself as a proxy server and reveal your true IP address. |
| Port | 49336 | The port on your machine that is being used to communicate with this server. |
| Accept header | Accept:
application/xhtml+xm
l,text/html;q=0.9,te
xt/plain; | Accept header, if there is one for this request. |
| Connection | close | The type of connection your browser is trying to establish with the server. IE: Keep-Alive |
| Referrer | | Address of the page (if any) that you came from. |
| Server | projectip.com | The server that your browser is trying to connect to. |
| Request method | GET | This can be OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE or CONNECT. GET is the "normal" method for viewing a webpage. POST can be used to send form data and the HEAD request method is for retrieving only the headers of a page instead of downloading the entire page. For more information, read the RFC. |

| Browser | | This is what your browser identified itself as. This may be incorrect because many (especially newer) browsers have options to change how the browser identifies itself, allowing the browser to masquerade as a different one. |
| Browser version | | The version of your browser- what more can be said? |
| Gecko based? | No | Is your browser a Gecko-based browser? Gecko is an HTML-rendering engine from Mozilla that is used in a wide variety of browsers such as: Firefox, Camino and Netscape |
| Mozilla compatibility level | 0 | Most browsers state their compatibility level as a Mozilla version. |
| Character set | ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0
.7,*;q=0.7 | The client's preffered charset. For example: iso-8859-1 |
| Encoding | gzip | Types of encoding (compression) that your browser can accept. For example: gzip This can make a big difference in download time and bandwidth usage. |
| Encrytion strength | Unknown | The US Government had a ban on exporting encryption stronger than 40-bit, so major browsers had different versions of encryption for release in the US and other countries. The US has since relaxed the ban, and most browsers ship with high encryption to all countries. |
| Language | en-us,en;q=0.5 | This is the preferred language of the browser. It usually consists of two parts, for example "en-au", indicating English as the language, and Australian English as the secondary language. Some websites look at this header and change the language of the page according to the accept language. In many browsers you can change the HTTP Accept Language if you look deep enough in the options. |
| User agent string | CCBot/1.0
(+http://www.commonc
rawl.org/bot.html) | This identifies the make and model of your browser. Some websites use this information to indirectly know the capabilities of your browser and change (or tailor) the webpage for your best browsing experience. Some browsers actually allow you to modify the User Agent. For example the Opera browser Allows you to change its identity to Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla, and if you're using Firefox, there's a great extention, the User Agent Switcher, available to modify the UA. |

| Operating system | | The platform or operating system (OS) running on your computer. |
Operating system

| Clipboard contents (text) | | The last text item you copied onto your clipboard! Only works in Internet Explorer 6 on the Windows platform. It reportedly works with varied success when IE is running in an emulator such as VMWare on another OS. If you have to use Windows, at least dump IE and use Firefox.
Rogue, evil websites can use this to steal potentially sensitive data from your Windows clipboard. I have done this in Javascript within the browser and the contents of your clipboard is not sent to this server. If someone wanted to snoop they would do what I have done, except the text area where it's displayed would be invisible (using CSS display:none;) and they would use an XMLHttpRequest object to send it back to the webserver, all without your knowledge.
Fix: Go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Select a security zone > Custom Level > Scripting > Allow paste operations via script and set it to Disabled or Prompt. |
