Project mention: The privacy nightmare of browser fingerprinting | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-22
JA3/JA4 are useless now.
At best they identify the family of browser, and spoofing it is table stakes for bad actors. https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate

curl_cffi
Python binding for curl-impersonate fork via cffi. A http client that can impersonate browser tls/ja3/http2 fingerprints.
Project mention: Bing Search API Replacement: scrape SERP results for $1.05/1K | dev.to | 2026-05-311. TLS fingerprint inspection. Bing inspects the JA3/JA4 signature of your TLS handshake. Python's stdlib ssl, requests, and httpx emit fingerprints no real browser produces — the server returns 403 before reading the query string. We route every request through curl-cffi's AsyncSession, impersonating Chrome 131, Chrome 124, or Firefox 147 TLS + HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames at the socket level, rotating profiles per page to reduce burst correlation.

Python’s requests package, which uses urllib from the standard library, has a very distinctive TLS fingerprint, containing ciphers (amongst other things) that aren’t seen in a browser. This makes it very easy to spot. Both rnet, and other options such as curl-cffi, are able to send a TLS fingerprint similar to that of a browser. This reduces the chances of our request being blocked.

Tor2web
Tor2web is an HTTP proxy software that enables access to Tor Hidden Services by mean of common web browsers (by tor2web)
-
MicroWebSrv2
The last Micro Web Server for IoTs (MicroPython) or large servers (CPython), that supports WebSockets, routes, template engine and with really optimized architecture (mem allocations, async I/Os). Ready for ESP32, STM32 on Pyboard, Pycom's chipsets (WiPy, LoPy, ...). Robust, efficient and documented!

It falls into the category that most people think they understand DNS, the same as JavaScript, or e.g. elections, but the devil is in the detail. And I can tell you, at least for DNS (and Dutch Elections), it's kind of tricky, see fun cases like https://github.com/internetstandards/Internet.nl/issues/1370 and I thought the same before I had my current job which involves quite some tricky DNS stuff (and regarding this we also sometimes encounter bugs in unbound https://github.com/internetstandards/Internet.nl/issues/1803 )
-
hiphp
The BackDoor of HIPHP gives you the power to control websites based on PHP using HTTP/HTTPS protocol. By sending files, tokens and commands through port 80's POST/GET method, users can access a range of activities such as downloading and editing files. It also allows for connecting to Tor networks with password protection for extra security.
-
harlogger
Simple utlity for sniffing decrypted HTTP/HTTPS traffic on an macOS/iOS device (either jailbroken or not)
-
-
cryptonice
CryptoNice is both a command line tool and library which provides the ability to scan and report on the configuration of SSL/TLS for your internet or internal facing web services. Built using the sslyze API and ssl, http-client and dns libraries, cryptonice collects data on a given domain and performs a series of tests to check TLS configuration and supporting protocols such as HTTP2 and DNS.
-
stable-diffusion-webui-auto-tls-https
An extension for AUTOMATIC1111's Stable Diffusion Web-UI that enables easy or zero-conf TLS for HTTPS
-
tlsassistant
An open-source modular framework capable of identifying a wide range of TLS vulnerabilities and assessing compliance with multiple guidelines. Its actionable report can assist the user in correctly and easily fixing their configurations.
-
browser-router
Custom Windows link handler that routes HTTP/HTTPS URLs to different browsers based on user-defined rules.
