for html page, create js to detect if someone open developer tools
then close developer tools/window.
You can detect when someone opens developer tools using a few different methods, such as checking
for increased debugger execution time, detecting changes
in window.outerHeight vs. window.innerHeight , or using console.log tricks. However, there is no
guaranteed way to detect all developer tools openings reliably. Here’s a JavaScript snippet that attempts
to detect DevTools and close the window if detected:
javascript Copy Edit
(function() { function detectDevTools() { const threshold = 160; // Height difference
threshold for DevTools detection if (window.outerHeight - window.innerHeight > threshold ||
window.outerWidth - window.innerWidth > threshold) { alert("Developer tools detected!
Closing the window."); window.close(); } } // Check at intervals
setInterval(detectDevTools, 1000); // Also detect F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Ctrl+Shift+J, and
Ctrl+Shift+C document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) { if (event.key === "F12"
|| (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && (event.key === "I" || event.key === "J" || event.key
=== "C"))) { alert("Developer tools detected! Closing the window."); window.close();
event.preventDefault(); } }); // Detect console open (function() { const element = new
Image(); Object.defineProperty(element, 'id', { get: function() { alert("Developer tools
detected! Closing the window."); window.close(); } }); console.log("%c", element); })(); })
();
How It Works:
1. Detects size differences: It checks if the outerHeight and innerHeight difference is unusually
large, which can indicate DevTools is open.
2. Monitors common key shortcuts: It listens for F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Ctrl+Shift+J, and Ctrl+Shift+C.
3. Tries console detection: It uses an object property trick that triggers when the browser tries to
inspect the object in the console.
Limitations:
Some modern browsers may block window.close() unless it was opened via window.open() .
Users can bypass this by disabling JavaScript or using undetectable debugging tools.
Some browser updates might change how DevTools behaves, making detection harder.
Let me know if you need modifications or a more aggressive approach! 🚀
instead of window that is open, not possible to close only
developer tools tab ?
No, you cannot directly close only the Developer Tools (DevTools) tab using JavaScript due to browser
security restrictions. Browsers prevent web pages from interfering with developer tools because it would
allow malicious sites to hide their activities.
Alternative Approaches:
While you cannot close DevTools, you can make debugging harder or discourage users by:
1. Redirecting or Closing the Page: If DevTools is detected, you can redirect the user or close the
window (only works if opened via window.open() ).
2. Disrupting Debugging: Use tricks like infinite loops, event blocking, or debugger statements.
3. Disabling Right-Click & Inspect Elements: Not foolproof but discourages casual users.
Updated Code to Detect DevTools and Redirect:
javascript Copy Edit
(function() { function detectDevTools() { const threshold = 160; // Height difference
threshold for DevTools detection if (window.outerHeight - window.innerHeight > threshold ||
window.outerWidth - window.innerWidth > threshold) { alert("Developer tools detected!
Redirecting..."); window.location.href = "about:blank"; // Redirects away } } // Check at
intervals setInterval(detectDevTools, 1000); // Detect F12, Ctrl+Shift+I, Ctrl+Shift+J, and
Ctrl+Shift+C document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) { if (event.key === "F12"
|| (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && (event.key === "I" || event.key === "J" || event.key
=== "C"))) { alert("Developer tools detected! Redirecting..."); window.location.href =
"about:blank"; event.preventDefault(); } }); // Console trick to detect when DevTools is
open (function() { const element = new Image(); Object.defineProperty(element, 'id', { get:
function() { alert("Developer tools detected! Redirecting..."); window.location.href =
"about:blank"; } }); console.log("%c", element); })(); })();
Why Can't We Close DevTools?
Security Reasons: Browsers prevent JavaScript from directly modifying browser settings.
User Control: Developer Tools belong to the user, not the webpage.
No API Exists: There’s no JavaScript function to close DevTools specifically.
What You Can Do Instead
1. Detect and Warn the User – Display an alert or take action like logging out.
2. Slow Down Debugging – Use obfuscation, breakpoints, or anti-debugging tricks.
3. Hide Sensitive Data – Encrypt important logic or use server-side verification.

is it possible to detect like view-source:http://domain.com request?
No, it is not possible to detect when someone opens view-source:http://yourdomain.com because:
1. The request does not execute JavaScript – The browser fetches the raw HTML source directly
without running any scripts.
2. No HTTP Headers or Referrer – Browsers do not send any special headers or referrer information
when someone views the page source.
3. Security Restrictions – Browsers are designed to prevent websites from detecting or blocking users
from viewing source code.
Workarounds (Not Foolproof)
While you cannot detect view-source , you can make it harder for users to read your source code:
1. Disable Right-Click & Keyboard Shortcuts
Prevent users from right-clicking and using Ctrl+U to open the source.
javascript Copy Edit
document.addEventListener("contextmenu", event => event.preventDefault());
document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) { if (event.ctrlKey && (event.key ===
"u" || event.key === "U")) { alert("Viewing source is disabled!"); event.preventDefault();
} });
Limitation: Users can still type view-source: in the address bar.
2. Obfuscate the HTML Source Code
Minify or obfuscate your HTML to make it harder to read.
html Copy Edit
<!-- Instead of readable HTML, use minified HTML --> <!DOCTYPE html><html><head>
<title>Hidden Source</title></head><body>
<script>eval(atob("ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUoJ0NvbnRlbnQgSGlkZGVuJyk7"));</script></body></html>
Limitation: Advanced users can still decode it.
3. Load Content via JavaScript (Not Recommended)
Instead of serving static HTML, generate it dynamically using JavaScript.
html Copy Edit
<body> <script> document.write("<h1>Content loaded via JavaScript</h1>"); </script>
</body>
Limitation: Users can still view the JavaScript and reconstruct the page.
Conclusion
🚫 No, you cannot detect view-source: requests.
✅ But you can discourage casual users from viewing your source code.
🛑 However, determined users can always bypass these tricks.
Would you like help implementing a stronger security strategy for your website? 🚀
yes.
If you want to strengthen your website's security and discourage users from easily accessing or
modifying your source code, here are multiple layers of protection you can implement:
1. Minify and Obfuscate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Minification removes unnecessary whitespace and comments.
Obfuscation makes JavaScript harder to read by renaming variables and functions.
📌 Tools for Minification & Obfuscation:
Google Closure Compiler
Obfuscator.io
UglifyJS
Example:
javascript Copy Edit
// Original JavaScript function secretFunction() { console.log("This is a secret!"); } //
Obfuscated var _0x23a5=["log","This is a secret!"];function _0x3a2b(){console[_0x23a5[0]]
(_0x23a5[1]);}
Limitation: Advanced users can still decode obfuscated JavaScript.
2. Disable Right-Click, Inspect Element, and View Source
This prevents casual users from accessing DevTools.
javascript Copy Edit
document.addEventListener("contextmenu", event => event.preventDefault()); // Disable
right-click document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) { if (event.ctrlKey &&
(event.key === "U" || event.key === "u")) { alert("View Source is disabled!");
event.preventDefault(); } if (event.key === "F12" || (event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey &&
(event.key === "I" || event.key === "J" || event.key === "C"))) { alert("Developer tools
detected!"); event.preventDefault(); } });
Limitation: Users can still disable JavaScript and bypass these restrictions.
3. Anti-Debugging Tricks
To make debugging difficult, use an infinite loop that slows down DevTools.
javascript Copy Edit
(function() { var start = new Date(); debugger; var end = new Date(); if (end - start >
100) { alert("Developer tools detected!"); window.location.href = "about:blank"; } })();
Limitation: Can be bypassed by experienced developers.
4. Hide Code Using JavaScript (Load Content Dynamically)
Instead of sending readable HTML, load it dynamically via JavaScript.
html Copy Edit
<body> <script> document.write(atob("SGVsbG8sIFRoaXMgaXMgSGlkZGVuIENvbnRlbnQh")); </script>
</body>
Limitation: Users can still view the JavaScript and reconstruct the content.
5. Server-Side Protection
✅ Disable Directory Listing
If users try to access /assets/ or /uploads/ , block it in .htaccess :
apache Copy Edit
Options -Indexes
✅ Deny Access to Important Files
Prevent direct access to PHP or config files:
apache Copy Edit
<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|log|sh|sql|bak|env)$"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
✅ Use Content Security Policy (CSP)
Prevent code injection or unauthorized scripts:
apache Copy Edit
Header set Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'"
6. Prevent Web Scraping & Bot Access
Use robots.txt to block automated bots:
makefile Copy Edit
User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /private/
For stronger security, use reCAPTCHA and rate-limiting.
Conclusion
🔒 No method is 100% foolproof, but combining multiple layers of security makes it harder for
attackers.
✅ Best Practices:
1. Minify & Obfuscate HTML/CSS/JS.
2. Disable right-click & DevTools.
3. Use anti-debugging scripts.
4. Load sensitive content dynamically.
5. Secure your server with .htaccess & CSP.
6. Prevent bots & scrapers with reCAPTCHA.
