Oliver,
You might want to check our documentation in wikitech regarding identity reconstruction. I think it covers your point #1.

Hey y'all
I'm working on a piece of research (largely recreational) on the old problem of fingerprinting users with minimal information - namely the combination of a user agent and an IP address. Basically I'm looking to put together a piece of work showing:
- How sub-standard it is;
- How fast it decays;
- How the sub-standardness varies by (platform|location)
This would be pretty doable with internal data; basically I'd need a schema with IP, user agent and a per-user UUID that's got a decent (>=24 hours) expiry time. My question: does anyone know of a table with recent data that meets these requirements? And, if not, anyone with EventLogging experience interested in working on the problem with me?
