Do you know that an excellent credit score of 830 is better than $100,000 cash in hand? Don't fall into the wrong hands Contact THE REAL HACKER Paul Mike for your credit score upgrade and He will remove all evictions from your card among other negative issues. He did a surprising job on my credit score and since then my life have been different. That's why I have to tell everyone with a bad score to act now and fast. Contact him on his mail; hackerpaulmike@gmail.com. Phone number; +17206630651.

This would be more interesting if the author explained this technique. People that are knowledgeable enough will deep dive into the webpage, but for everyone else, expect disappointment.

I don't think there's actually anything concrete to discuss. After reading the post, my feeling is that the author is probably fishing for HN geeks that would be intrigued to test his headless detection mechanism. Which would be borderline antisocial behaviour towards the HN community. This would better fit under the "Ask HN" label.

Moreover, I'm not even sure how useful would this community testing be academic-wise. Black-box testing is great stuff for CTF competitions. But any decent academic venue would dismiss systems that can't withstand white-box testing as security-through-obscurity.
