Cloakbits Manager for NodeJS

A utility for managing Cloakbits stealth sessions.

It facilitates communication with local API:

• Create new stealth webdriver sessions,
• Modify session parameters such as User-Agent, WebGL attributes or TCP fingerprint masking,
• Monitor session activity

and more.

Usage

npm i @cloakbits/manager --save
# or alternatively
yarn add @cloakbits/manager

To use this utility, call configure(options) and checkHealth as early as possible. This will ensure launcher process is running, is correctly configured and ready to accept connections.

import manager from "@cloakbits/manager";

manager.configure();

(async () => {
    await manager.checkHealth();
    // ...
    const sessionParams = {
        autopersist: true,
        platform: "MacIntel",
        screen: {
            width: 1280,
            height: 800    
        }
    };
    const sessionId = await manager.sessions.create(sessionParams);
})();
 

Use session identifier sessionId as an additional parameter when launching webdriver.

import puppeteer from "puppeteer";

/// ...

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    executablePath: "/app/cloakbits",
    args: [
        `--cb-session-id=${sessionId}`
    ]
});

The identifier can be used to modify session behavior at runtime.

await manager.sessions.depersist(sessionId); // once webdriver process stops the session data will be removed
