With the release of Chrome 76, Google fixed a vulnerability that allowed websites to detect if a visitor was using Incognito mode. Unfortunately, fixing the bug resulted in two other methods that can still be used to detect when a visitor is browsing privately.

Some websites have used Incognito mode detection to prevent users from skipping payments or to give private browsing users a different browsing experience.

This was done by checking the availability of Chrome’s FileSystem API. This feature will be disabled in Incognito mode. By using the following method:

• If the browser can access the FileSystem API: non-anonymous
• If the browser cannot access the FileSystem API: anonymous

However, to protect user privacy, Google has patched the vulnerability by providing APIs in both browsing modes. But instead of using disk storage for the FileSystem API while in Incognito, Google is using a temporary memory file system (memory filesystem) is deleted when the session is closed.

The use of memory filesystem creates two new vulnerabilities that can be used to detect Incognito mode. Let’s see how it works.

Detect incognito mode thanks to storage limit on RAM

When Google creates Incognito mode, it saves information temporarily in RAM. This has opened up a new method of detecting it based on the amount of RAM storage used by the browser.

In research presented by security researcher Vikas Mishra, he discovered that when Chrome allocates storage space for system memory used by Incognito mode, it takes up up to 120 MB.

Using this knowledge, Mishra came up with a script that would query the allocated quota. Specifically, the browser’s file system capacity is stored in RAM if:

• 120 MB or lessthe browser is in incognito mode
• From 120 MB or more browser in normal mode

Using Mishra’s script, AnonyViet came up with a PoC to implement this technique. You can see an example here.

Incognito mode detection through access time

When it comes to reading and writing data, RAM memory is always faster than hard disk memory. When Chrome switches to storage in Incognito mode, you can detect private browsing by measuring the speed of writing to the file system.

This new detection method was discovered by researcher Jesse Li. He measured a series of write operations to the browser’s file system. Based on the speed of the writes, a website could theoretically determine if the browser is using Incognito mode.

If you want to measure the write speed in both incognito mode and normal browsing mode of the file system, Li created a code where you can see the difference in write speed.

You need to know, incognito mode is not completely anonymous. Although in private mode, your browsing history will not be saved on your browser, but on Windows, your company server, your ISP… or your own websites can still track your browsing history. For example, if you use Google search and log in to Google using private browsing mode, previous searches are stored on the server but not in your browser history. So any bookmarks you save while using private mode will be stored on the server and you can access them even if you turn off private browsing. The safest way is to use VPN.

When accessing a Web address, your computer will ask for directions to the Router, the Router will ask for directions to the Internet service provider, the Internet service provider will ask for directions at a higher level. During the process of asking for directions, there will be a service called DNS. DNS’s job is to resolve domain names to IP addresses. The resolution process will be temporarily saved in Windows (DNS Cache) so that when you next visit, you don’t have to ask for directions again.

To view Web browsing history in Incognito mode, you need to display DNS Cache. In DNS Cache will save all the Website addresses you have ever visited in any browser. The way to do this is as follows:

Step 1: Open CMD as Administrtor
