Javascript : Detect when console is activated and do something about it
Problem:
You do not want your website visitors to see what is behind the curtain of your website. You want your web page to have the ability to detect whenever a user activates the browser's console(DevTools, Firebug, etc ) and do something about it. Such as redirect the user to a new page, troll the user or prompt the user not to peek behind the curtain.
Solution:
This JavaScript code is a cross browser's solution that will detect if a user activates the console or dev tool inspector. Upon detection, it will redirect the user to another page /nopeeking.php
.
window.onresize = function(){
if ((window.outerHeight - window.innerHeight) > 100) {
window.location = "/nopeeking.php"; // or whatever action you want to happen upon console activation detection.
}
}
NOTE: This is one of the methods that you can use to troll the users(crackers) that attempt to peek/temper with your web page JavaScript. Check out the JavaScript obfuscator at https://javascriptobfuscator.herokuapp.com/ as well.
Use https://javascriptobfuscator.herokuapp.com/ to inject anti-console, obfuscate your code and anti-debugger to frustrate the would-be cracker. These are a couple of ways that you can deploy to stop the cracker/reverse-engineer from debugging your web app.
