Generates fingerprints for electron version detection by downloading electron releases and generating checksums of the files contained in each release.

Generates fingerprints for electron version detection by downloading electron releases and generating checksums (sha1 hashes) of the files contained in each release. Published as a lookup table on the GitHub NPM Registry.
You can use this to guess which electron version is being used in a given application. A given electron version is (almost always) tightly bound to a node and chrome release as well, so you get a better sense of what the application is running.
Written as the backend for which-electon
.
See the GitHub documentation to configure the GitHub Packages NPM Registry.
Install from the command line:
npm install @captn3m0/electron-fingerprints
Install via package.json:
"@captn3m0/electron-fingerprints": "*"
This repository only contains the raw data files, see which-electron for a usable package. The lookup.json
files are published as the @captn3m0/electron-fingerprints
package on the GitHub NPM Package Registry as well as on GitHub Releases. Programmatic usage is still possible:
const lookup = require("@captn3m0/electron-fingerprints");
// baf786083f482c1f035e50e105b5f7475af1e00b = sha1(ffmpeg.dll)
lookup["win32-x64"]["baf786083f482c1f035e50e105b5f7475af1e00b"];
// ["v1.4.3", "v1.4.4", "v1.4.5"]
You can sort or filter the returned versions if needed. If you'd like to access the raw data, see HACKING.md
for a schema description. If you'd like to use this in a project that doesn't use NPM, you can use this repository as a git submodule and track the main
branch for updates.
All Stable electron releases for the following architectures are fingerprinted:
linux-x64
linux-arm64
darwin-x64
(Mac OS)win32-x64
(Windows)win32-arm64
(Windows)darwin-arm64
(Apple Silicon)A list of release fingerprints is under the hashes
directory. Releases made when Electron was still called atom-shell
are not supported (Before April 2015).
Releases are versioned by the date on which they were made (as per UTC).
Released under WTFPL.
