I’m working on a project where I need to alter the browser fingerprinting details for testing purposes using Puppeteer. Specifically, I want to modify the following:
- Local IP address
- User Agent string
- WebRTC details
- WebGL parameters
Is it possible to change these fingerprinting details using Puppeteer? If so, could someone provide examples or guidance on how to achieve this?
So far, I’ve managed to change the User Agent string, but I’m struggling with the other aspects. Here’s a snippet of my current code:
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Changing the User Agent
await page.setUserAgent('Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.3');
// TODO: Code to change IP, WebRTC, WebGL
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Additional actions...
await browser.close();
})();
Any insights or code examples to help modify the IP address, WebRTC, and WebGL details would be greatly appreciated!
