Flash Cookie Object Tracking
pdp reimplements Thom Shannon's cross-browser tracking demo by releasing the ActionScript for a Flash SharedObject cookie manager, compiled with MTASC. Because Flash local shared objects are stored outside the browser and are almost never cleared, they persist across browsers and make a durable store for tracking codes or hidden malware.
