Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
header-generator
Advanced tools
NodeJS package for generating realistic browser-like HTTP headers.
fingerprint-suite
is a handcrafted assembly of tools for browser fingerprint generation and injection.
Today's websites are increasingly using fingerprinting to track users and identify them.
With the help of fingerprint-suite
you can generate and inject browser fingerprints into your browser, allowing you to fly your scrapers under the radar.
Would you like to work with us on our fingerprinting tools or similar projects? We are hiring!
fingerprint-suite
is a modular toolkit for browser fingerprint generation and injection. It consists of the following npm
packages, which you can use separately, or together:
header-generator
: generates configurable, realistic HTTP headersfingerprint-generator
: generates realistic browser fingerprints, affecting the HTTP headers and browser JS APIsfingerprint-injector
: injects browser fingerprints into your Playwright or Puppeteer managed browser instancegenerative-bayesian-network
: our fast implementation of a Bayesian generative network used to generate realistic browser fingerprintsThe following example shows how to use the fingerprinting tools to camouflage your Playwright-managed Chromium instance.
import { chromium } from 'playwright';
import { newInjectedContext } from 'fingerprint-injector';
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const context = await newInjectedContext(
browser,
{
// Constraints for the generated fingerprint (optional)
fingerprintOptions: {
devices: ['mobile'],
operatingSystems: ['ios'],
},
// Playwright's newContext() options (optional, random example for illustration)
newContextOptions: {
geolocation: {
latitude: 51.50853,
longitude: -0.12574,
}
}
},
);
const page = await context.newPage();
// ... your code using `page` here
})();
Here is the same example using Puppeteer:
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
import { newInjectedPage } from 'fingerprint-injector';
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await newInjectedPage(
browser,
{
// constraints for the generated fingerprint
fingerprintOptions: {
devices: ['mobile'],
operatingSystems: ['ios'],
},
},
);
// ... your code using `page` here
await page.goto('https://example.com');
})();
With ever-improving performance of antibot fingerprinting services, we use some of the industry-leading services to benchmark our performance.
The following table shows how is the latest build of fingerprint-suite
doing in comparison to other popular fingerprinting tools.
