🔍 Stealth-CDP: Level 1

[Eth3rnit3]

Let's start the conversation around Level 1: Stealth-CDP, the simplest and most practical setup for everyday development.

Description:
Level 1 runs the browser in headless mode, leveraging launch arguments like --no-sandbox, --disable-web-security, and others to minimize detectability. It uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) for mouse and keyboard interactions, making it an ideal choice for quick automation tasks where maximum stealth is not required.

Configuration Example:

require 'chromate'

# Basic configuration for Level 1: Stealth-CDP
Chromate.configure do |config|
  config.headless = true
  config.native_control = false # Uses CDP for interactions
end

browser = Chromate::Browser.new
browser.start

# Simple navigation and interaction
browser.navigate_to('https://example.com')
button = browser.find_element('#button')
button.click
browser.screenshot_to_file('screenshot.png')

browser.stop

Pros:

• Quick and easy setup, perfect for development and everyday tasks.
• Lower resource usage due to headless mode.
• Ready-to-use configuration with minimal setup.

Cons:

• Potential for detection by advanced anti-bot systems due to Input.untrusted JS events generated by CDP.

Discussion Points:

• What launch arguments have you found effective for reducing detection?
• Have you experienced issues with Input.untrusted events? If so, how did you handle them?
• Any additional configurations or suggestions for improving Level 1 stealth?

Let’s share our experiences and configurations to refine this level together!
