Fraud detection,
term by term.

Plain-English explanations of the tools attackers use and the signals that catch them — written from what we see in live detection data, not recycled marketing definitions.

Concepts

Antidetect browser
Browsers built to impersonate other devices — Kameleo, GoLogin, Multilogin — and why they exist.
Residential proxy
How fraud traffic borrows real home IP addresses, and where those IPs actually come from.
Residential vs datacenter proxy
The two proxy families, how they differ in cost and detectability, and which attacks use which.
Device fingerprinting vs IP intelligence
Why the two signal families catch different fraud, and why serious detection needs both.
Fraud detection API
What a modern verdict API should catch, and the gaps legacy IP-reputation tools leave open.
CAPTCHA farm
The $0.001-per-solve economics that made CAPTCHAs a speed bump instead of a wall.

Detection guides

Detecting antidetect browsers
The artifacts spoofed canvas, WebGL, and fonts leave behind — and how to read them in real time.
Detecting residential proxies
Why blocklists fail against rotating residential exits, and what works instead.
Headless browser detection
Catching stealth-patched headless Chrome after the easy checks stopped working.
Puppeteer & Playwright detection
Automation frameworks behind most scraping and abuse, and their tells.
Tor exit node detection
Real-time exit-list intelligence and what a Tor hit should mean in your risk policy.
VPN detection
What separates a useful VPN signal from a false-positive machine.
Bot detection without CAPTCHAs
Server-side verdicts instead of user-facing challenges — how friction-free detection works.
Browser tampering detection
Spotting modified user agents, patched APIs, and spoofed environments.

Fraud patterns

Account takeover (ATO)
Credential stuffing and session replay, and the login-time signals that expose them.
Card testing
How bots validate stolen cards on your checkout, and what it does to your dispute rate.
Free-trial abuse
Serial trial farming and the device-linking counter that ends it.
Chargeback fraud
Catching the pattern before disputes are filed — without adding checkout friction.
Multi-accounting
One operator, many accounts: how device graphs connect what proxies separate.
Bonus abuse
Promo and referral farming in iGaming and beyond, and the linking signals that stop it.
