[Show] OPSECHub: An open-source, zero-telemetry browser suite to mitigate active profiling and traffic analysis.

Hey r/opsec,

I lead an offensive cyber research team and frequently interact with untrusted environments. I needed a way to conduct investigations without relying on heavy extensions that secretly log telemetry. So, I built OPSECHub—a completely local, Manifest V3 browser suite.

My Threat Model:

  • Adversaries: Active profiling mechanisms (servers fingerprinting my environment) and passive local eavesdroppers (ISPs/network monitors logging my targets).
  • Goal: Conduct web investigations without leaving unique traces, leaking my real IP, or allowing adversaries to map my timeline or identify my infrastructure.

How OPSECHub mitigates these specific threats:

  • Defeating Profiling: Introduces persistent noise to Canvas/WebGL rendering and spoofs hardware strings (CPU cores, RAM) to prevent target servers from fingerprinting the specific research machine.
  • Preventing IP Leaks: Enforces strict WebRTC routing policies to stop STUN/TURN leaks, and includes a built-in Proxy Manager (HTTP/SOCKS5) for safe, instant routing.
  • Obfuscating Traffic Analysis: A background "Decoy Traffic Generator" creates automated network noise to mask real investigative patterns from local network monitors.
  • Network Shielding: Uses a DeclarativeNetRequest core (powered by HaGeZi rules) and live threat feeds (PhishTank, URLHaus) to block dynamic DNS abuse and badware hosters at the network level.

Supporting OPSEC Utility Belt: To avoid switching between different external tools during an investigation, I integrated several local utilities directly into the extension:

  • Data Sanitization: Strips tracking parameters (utm_*) from URLs and completely removes EXIF metadata/tracking pixels from downloaded PDFs and Office documents.
  • Infrastructure Analysis: Built-in CSP & HTTP Security Headers Analyzer, SSL Certificate Inspector, and a DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) Leak Checker.

(Note: There are many more capabilities built into the suite that I haven't detailed here to keep this post readable, such as a Short Link Redirect Tracer, local Document Encryptor, Hash Calculator, and Cookie/Storage Guards. You can check out the full feature list and screenshots on the GitHub page).

Everything executes strictly locally. Zero analytics, zero data exfiltration.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the architecture or suggestions for other OPSEC vectors that could be mitigated at the browser level.
