Detection methods

Residential Proxy Detection
BrightData routes traffic through 72M+ residential IPs. Centinel detects residential proxy patterns via IP reputation scoring, ASN analysis, and connection behavior that differs from genuine residential users.
TLS Fingerprint
BrightData's Scraping Browser uses a modified Chromium build with a distinctive TLS ClientHello fingerprint. Cipher suite ordering and extension patterns diverge from standard Chrome releases.
Behavioral Pattern
Automated session patterns: uniform request timing, systematic URL traversal, absence of sub-resource loading, and cookie handling inconsistencies reveal proxy-mediated scraping.
Header Anomaly
Proxy-injected headers and header ordering inconsistencies. Requests routed through BrightData's infrastructure often carry subtle differences in Accept-Language, Accept-Encoding, and connection headers versus genuine browser sessions.
JavaScript Fingerprint
BrightData's headless browser environment exposes detectable JavaScript API inconsistencies: navigator property mismatches, WebGL renderer strings, and automated driver flags.
