Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, πŸ‘‹, I’m Ryan HefnerΒ  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you πŸ™

Readme

🐭 Fake browser, headless browser, all for bots πŸ€–

  • Basic version: Based on puppeteer, uses JavaScript hooks to modify properties and provides a simple api to make your web bot undetectable.
  • Advanced version: fakechrome recompiled Chromium to complete the simulation more thoroughly.

😎 Join Discord ALL-FOR-BOTS and let's discover fun things together!


Reverse engineering is not easy, and I would appreciate if you could give a ⭐!


Technical details

FakeBrowser automatic login demo:

  • Using dumpDD.js to collect fingerprint from real users.
  • Writing evasions😈 based on puppeteer-extra to simulate the above fingerprints and bypass anti-bot detection.
  • Provide toolkit to simulate real user's mouse and keyboard operations.
  • Deploy to Linux and use Chrome / Edge in headless to SAVE COST. Chromium is not recommended because it lacks features such as MP4 support.

Getting Started

Installation

To use FakeBrowser in your project, run:

yarn add puppeteer axios fakebrowser

Usage

βœ… Demo1: Quick Start

// cjs
const {FakeBrowser} = require('fakebrowser');

// esm
// import {FakeBrowser} from 'fakebrowser';
// import {createRequire} from 'module';
// const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);

const path = require('path')
const userDataDir = path.resolve(__dirname, './fakeBrowserUserData')

!(async () => {
    // [Optional]: Select a fake device description
    const windowsDD = require('./node_modules/fakebrowser/device-hub-demo/Windows.json');

    const builder = new FakeBrowser.Builder()
        // [Optional]: Set the fake device description
        .deviceDescriptor(windowsDD)
        // [Optional]: Show user action layers
        .displayUserActionLayer(true)
        // [Optional]: Set startup options (https://pptr.dev/#?product=Puppeteer&show=api-puppeteerlaunchoptions)
        .vanillaLaunchOptions({
            headless: false,
            executablePath: '/Applications/Google Chrome 93.0.4577.82.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome',
            userDataDir,
        })
        // Must be set: path to save user data
        // We will create a fake device description (fake browser fingerprint) and save the browser's user cache information to this folder.
        // Note: Once the fake browser fingerprint is created, it will not change, just like a normal user using the browser.
        // If you want to get a different browser fingerprint, see demo2.
        .userDataDir(userDataDir);

    const fakeBrowser = await builder.launch();

    // vanillaBrowser is a puppeteer.Browser object
    const page = await fakeBrowser.vanillaBrowser.newPage();
    await page.goto('https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/');
    
    // ***** Do something automatic *****
    
    // Don't forget to close your browser to release resources
    await fakeBrowser.shutdown();
})();

βœ… Demo2: Create fake different browser fingerprints.

There are two ways:

  • demo2-diff-fp1.js Create multiple instances of FakeBrowser and set userDataDir to different folders.
  • demo2-diff-fp2.js Create FakeBrowser instances with different DeviceDescriptor (retrieved from device-hub-demo).
  • Too few device descriptions in device-hub-demo? Please use dumpDD.js to crawl the real user's fingerprint by yourself 😜.

βœ… Demo3: Simulate complex actions like a real user.

Some websites track user mouse movements and listen for keyup events of fn keys. FakeBrowser provides easy-to-use toolkit to help you simulate real users.

demo3-fake-user-action.js, I have written very detailed comments.


βœ… Demo4: Proxy support.

demo4-proxy.js, Support socks5, http, https proxy.


βœ… Demo7: Use other puppeteer-extra plugins

demo7-use-plugin.js, Other popular plugins can be used e.g: puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha


🐱 Bot / Fingerprint detection sites

These pages use many fingerprinting techniques to detect if the browser is crawler software.

Results of running FakeBrowser on CentOS 7.9, Headless Chrome 93.0.4577.82, Socks5 proxy under AWS VPS:

| Test page | Notes | Result | | ------ | ------ | ------ | | fingerprintjs | The basic fingerprint detection is easy to bypass. Even with the pro version, FakeBrowser is able to cheat easily. | πŸ” | | pixelscan | JS code is obfuscated and can only be restored through the AST tree. The vulnerability is the detection process submits results to server, and we can reverse their analysis process based on the results. It detects if the browser font matches the system in UserAgent. FakeBrowser emulates fonts in 4 ways to bypass the detection perfectly. | πŸ” | | amiunique | - | πŸ” | | browser-fingerprinting | This author is also working on anti-anti-bot systems, and I learned lots of knowledge from his repository, thank you very much! | πŸ” | | coveryourtracks | This site detects if your canvas/webgl fingerprint is stable by refreshing the page to check if you are a real environment. In fact, simply adding noise to canvas is not enough, undrawn rectangular areas are easily detected if they have noise. FakeBrowser uses an edge detection method that only adds noise to drawn edges of text, circles, ellipses. | πŸ” | | f.vision | - | πŸ” | | recaptcha-test | Detects how many points your browser scores in reCaptcha. | πŸ” | | deviceinfo | - | | | hackability | - | - | | sannysoft | No pressure to bypass. | πŸ” | | incolumitas | This guy also collects lots of bot detection methods, and his blog contains advanced methods for proxy/VPN detection, recommended following. BTW: He uses puppeteer-extra-plugin-strealth's code bugs for bot detection, and there's nothing he can do if I fix those bugs. His test results are very unstable, with FakeBrowser often jumping between 0.8 and 1.0. Even a normal browser's score can drop to 0.5. | πŸ” | | antoinevastel | Fingerprint detection page | πŸ” | | browserleaks | Everyone should know what this site is | πŸ” | | morellian | - | πŸ” | | vytal.io | - | πŸ” |
