Monitor Sync Anomaly

Detection approach

The browser's graphics rendering pipeline was tested for physical monitor synchronization. The screen painted frames at impossible intervals that bypassed physical hardware limits, confirming the browser is running in a 'headless' virtual void on a server without a real monitor attached.

How this helps detect bots

This signal is assessed with other independent session, browser, and network evidence. A single anomaly is a lead, not a verdict; corroborating anomalies make automated traffic more likely.

Legitimate traffic to consider

Custom Sync monitors (G-Sync/FreeSync), or overloaded browser processes dropping frame cycles.
