💬 Electric Eye – a Rust/WASM Firefox extension to detect AitM proxies via DOM analysis, TLS fingerprinting and HTTP header inspection The extension detects Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks in real time by analyzing DNS anomalies, HTTP headers, TLS certificates, and DOM inconsistencies. It uses Rust compiled to WASM for performance and security, with a minimal JavaScript interface. The tool achieved a 100% detection rate against a live Evilginx deployment and produced no false positives on major sites like Google, Apple, and PayPal. Some CDN-heavy sites may trigger proxy header alerts, which the developer is refining.
