StealthMon 🕵️‍♂️🔍

Detect Incognito Mode & Monitor Browser Search Queries

Overview

StealthMon is a Python module that helps detect whether a browser is running in Incognito/Private mode and monitors search queries from the system. It is designed for privacy monitoring, parental control, cybersecurity research, and system audits.

Features

✅ Detect Incognito Mode – Identify when browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, or Opera are running in private mode. ✅ Monitor Search Queries – Track user searches made on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and more. ✅ Alert System – Configurable alerts when specific queries are detected. ✅ Multi-Threading Support – Efficient monitoring with background threads. ✅ Visual Notifications – Optional UI components for alerts and notifications. ✅ Cross-Platform – Works on Windows & Linux (Mac support coming soon). ✅ Lightweight & Easy to Use – Simple Python module with clear API.

Use Cases

🔹 Parental Control – Keep track of Incognito browsing on a child's system. 🔹 Cybersecurity & Monitoring – Detect stealth browsing behavior in workplaces or shared systems. 🔹 Forensics & Investigations – Useful for analyzing browser activity on compromised systems.

Installation

pip install stealthmon

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/stealthmon
cd stealthmon
pip install -e .

Dependencies

StealthMon requires the following dependencies:

• Python 3.7+
• psutil
• pywin32 (Windows only)
• tkinter (for UI components)
• pygame (for sound alerts)

Quick Start

# You can use either StealthMon or StealthMonitor (they're the same)
from stealthmon import StealthMon
# or
from stealthmon import StealthMonitor

# Initialize the monitor
monitor = StealthMon()

# Check for incognito mode for a specific browser
is_chrome_incognito = monitor.check_browser("chrome")
print(f"Chrome: {'Incognito Mode' if is_chrome_incognito else 'Normal Mode'}")

# Check all browsers
for browser in ["chrome", "firefox", "edge", "opera"]:
    try:
        is_incognito = monitor.check_browser(browser)
        print(f"{browser}: {'Incognito Mode' if is_incognito else 'Normal Mode'}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"{browser}: Error - {str(e)}")

# Start monitoring with a callback function
def handle_results(results, queries):
    # results = dict of browser -> incognito status
    for browser, is_incognito in results.items():
        if is_incognito:
            print(f"Incognito detected: {browser}")
    
    # queries = dict of browser -> query data
    for browser, data in queries.items():
        for query_data in data.get('queries', []):
            query = query_data.get('query', '')
            engine = query_data.get('engine', '')
            print(f"Search query detected: {query} on {engine}")

# Start continuous monitoring with 1 second interval
monitor.start(interval=1.0, callback=handle_results)

# To stop monitoring
# monitor.stop()

Advanced Usage

Tracking Specific Search Queries

from stealthmon import StealthMon

# Initialize with configuration
monitor = StealthMon()

# Define a callback function that filters specific queries
def handle_results(results, queries):
    for browser, data in queries.items():
        for query_data in data.get('queries', []):
            query = query_data.get('query', '').lower()
            if "python tutorial" in query:
                print(f"Educational search detected: {query}")

# Start monitoring with the callback
monitor.start(callback=handle_results)

Customizing Detection Behavior

from stealthmon import StealthMon

# Custom configuration
config = {
    "browsers_to_monitor": ["chrome", "firefox", "edge"],
    "check_interval": 3,  # seconds
    "search_engines": {
        "google": {
            "domain_patterns": ["google.com"],
            "title_pattern": r"(.+) - Google Search"
        },
        "bing": {
            "domain_patterns": ["bing.com"],
            "title_pattern": r"(.+) - Bing"
        }
    }
}

# Initialize with custom config
monitor = StealthMon(config=config)

# Start monitoring
monitor.start()

Command Line Interface

StealthMon also includes a command-line interface:

# Check all browsers once
stealthmon --once

# Monitor specific browser continuously
stealthmon --browser chrome

# Set custom interval
stealthmon --interval 2.5

# Quiet mode (no continuous display)
stealthmon --quiet

Error Handling

StealthMon includes robust error handling for various scenarios:

• Browser detection failures
• Privilege or permission issues
• Missing dependencies
• Platform compatibility issues
