What is BrowserScan?
BrowserScan provides a detailed analysis of browser fingerprints to detect potential privacy vulnerabilities and security risks. The tool examines various browser attributes including IP address, time zone, location, language settings, proxy usage, and hardware characteristics to assess how websites perceive user information.
It offers multiple integrated utilities such as DNS leak testing, WebRTC leak detection, port scanning, bot detection, and user agent parsing to comprehensively evaluate online privacy. The platform helps users identify inconsistencies in browser configurations that could lead to fingerprinting and tracking by websites.
Features
- Fingerprint Detection: Analyzes browser characteristics to identify privacy leaks and tracking vulnerabilities
- DNS Leak Test: Free detection of DNS leaks that could expose browsing activity
- WebRTC Leak Test: Identifies WebRTC IP leaks that bypass VPN protection
- Bot Detection: Automated detection of robots, scripts, and automated browsing patterns
- Port Scanner: Online scanning of high-risk ports (22, 3389) for security assessment
- UserAgent Parse: Free parser that analyzes user agent strings for browser identification
- Kernel Detection: Checks if browser kernel and user agent information match properly
- Time Zone Detection: Verifies time zone consistency between IP-based and JavaScript-based readings
Use Cases
- Testing browser privacy settings before accessing sensitive websites
- Verifying VPN or proxy effectiveness in masking real IP address
- Checking for DNS leaks that could expose browsing history
- Detecting WebRTC leaks that bypass traditional privacy tools
- Analyzing browser fingerprints to understand what information websites collect
- Testing port security for network vulnerability assessment
- Validating user agent strings for compatibility testing
- Monitoring bot detection capabilities for web scraping projects
