Paradox Catcher

In this mode, a browser configuration, i.e. set of attributes, is provided as input to the tool, and the output will reveal paradoxical attributes in the following format:

Paradox_type (confidence, number_of_instances) source_attribute=source_attribute_value target_attribute=target_attribute_value

In the case of a hard paradox, the possible non-paradoxical values will be output as well. The lookup order to produce the output in the model is as follows: source attribute, source attribute value, target attribute, target value and its probability. In the case that a source or target attribute is not included in the model, the tool disregards that attribute. Such an occurrence is highly likely a weakness in the statistical model due to either a Uniqueness Threshold that is too high, or an original dataset that is too small. To do otherwise would induce artificial changes in the possibility of a paradox occurring or not.

Example usage and output:

$ ./main.py -c ./model_files/extracted_data_freq1.pickle test_config.txt

List of attributes in the model:
acceptHttp, cookiesJS, languageHttp, fontsFlashHashed, platformFlash, id, orderHttp, IEDataJS, connectionHttp, resolutionJS, canvasJS, fontsFlash, languageFlash, sunspiderTime, adBlock, timezoneJS, pluginsJS, sessionJS, vendorWebGLJS, dntJS, userAgentHttp, encodingHttp, resolutionFlash, addressHttp, webGLJs, octaneScore, hostHttp, canvasJSHashed, webGLJsHashed, rendererWebGLJS, localJS, platformJS, pluginsJSHashed
