2. Evasion, Debugger, & Anti-Stealth Traps
Plugin Spoofing
Detection approach
navigator.plugins / MimeTypeArray prototype spoofing detected. puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth's magicArray.js creates Proxy-wrapped fake PluginArray objects that fail consistency checks (enabledPlugin circular reference, item() overflow behavior, or prototype mismatch).
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
Niche browsers or legacy browser plugins modifying their navigator profiles.
