Client Fingerprinting

A summary of device information that is collected during the connection

Fastest way to get started with Pangolin using the hosted control plane. No credit card required.

Device Fingerprinting

Pangolin clients collect device fingerprinting information and can perform security posture checks to help determine trusted devices. This information is used to enforce security policies, audit device configurations, and monitor compliance with organizational requirements. Snapshots of device information are collected periodically on each platform when clients are connected.

Collected Fingerprint Information

The following device attributes are collected on each device when available:

  • Username
  • Hostname
  • OS version
  • Kernel version
  • Architecture
  • Device model
  • Serial number

Available Posture Checks

Posture checks are only collected on Pangolin Cloud and self-hosted [Enterprise Edition](/self-host/enterprise-edition).

Posture checks are also collected on each platform; this is device state that could potentially change, such as biometric availability, firewall settings, and other related information if it is available.

Posture checks are supported on a per-platform basis.

Windows

Posture Check What It Reports
Hard drive encryption Whether the system disk and other disks are encrypted (BitLocker)
Firewall If the firewall (Windows or third party) is enabled
Antivirus If antivirus (Windows or third party) is installed and active
TPM availability If a Trusted Platform Module is available

macOS

Posture Check What It Reports
Hard drive encryption Whether the system disk is encrypted
Biometric configuration If Touch ID or Face ID is configured
Firewall If the macOS firewall is enabled
System Integrity Protection (SIP) Whether SIP is active
Gatekeeper Whether Gatekeeper is active
Firewall stealth mode Whether firewall stealth mode is enabled
Auto updates If automatic updates are enabled

Linux

Posture Check What It Reports
Hard drive encryption If LUKS devices are detected on the system
Firewall Whether UFW, firewalld, or iptables are enabled
AppArmor If AppArmor is active
SELinux If SELinux is active
TPM availability If a Trusted Platform Module device is available

iOS

No posture checks are currently supported on iOS.

Android

Posture Check What It Reports
Hard drive encryption If File-Based Encryption is enabled
