# StealthMon 🕵️‍♂️🔍

**Detect Incognito Mode & Monitor Browser Search Queries**

## Overview
StealthMon is a Python module that helps detect whether a browser is running in **Incognito/Private mode** and monitors **search queries** from the system. It is designed for **privacy monitoring, parental control, cybersecurity research, and system audits**.

## Features
✅ **Detect Incognito Mode** – Identify when browsers like **Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, or Opera** are running in private mode.
✅ **Monitor Search Queries** – Track user searches made on **Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and more**.
✅ **Alert System** – Configurable alerts when specific queries are detected.
✅ **Multi-Threading Support** – Efficient monitoring with background threads.
✅ **Visual Notifications** – Optional UI components for alerts and notifications.
✅ **Cross-Platform** – Works on **Windows & Linux** (Mac support coming soon).
✅ **Lightweight & Easy to Use** – Simple Python module with clear API.

## Use Cases
🔹 **Parental Control** – Keep track of Incognito browsing on a child's system.
🔹 **Cybersecurity & Monitoring** – Detect stealth browsing behavior in workplaces or shared systems.
🔹 **Forensics & Investigations** – Useful for analyzing browser activity on compromised systems.

## Installation
```bash
pip install stealthmon
```

Or install from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/stealthmon
cd stealthmon
pip install -e .
```

## Dependencies
StealthMon requires the following dependencies:
- Python 3.7+
- psutil
- pywin32 (Windows only)
- tkinter (for UI components)
- pygame (for sound alerts)

## Quick Start
```python
# You can use either StealthMon or StealthMonitor (they're the same)
from stealthmon import StealthMon
# or
from stealthmon import StealthMonitor

# Initialize the monitor
monitor = StealthMon()

# Check for incognito mode for a specific browser
is_chrome_incognito = monitor.check_browser("chrome")
print(f"Chrome: {'Incognito Mode' if is_chrome_incognito else 'Normal Mode'}")

# Check all browsers
for browser in ["chrome", "firefox", "edge", "opera"]:
try:
is_incognito = monitor.check_browser(browser)
print(f"{browser}: {'Incognito Mode' if is_incognito else 'Normal Mode'}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"{browser}: Error - {str(e)}")

# Start monitoring with a callback function
def handle_results(results, queries):
# results = dict of browser -> incognito status
for browser, is_incognito in results.items():
if is_incognito:
print(f"Incognito detected: {browser}")

# queries = dict of browser -> query data
for browser, data in queries.items():
for query_data in data.get('queries', []):
query = query_data.get('query', '')
engine = query_data.get('engine', '')
print(f"Search query detected: {query} on {engine}")

# Start continuous monitoring with 1 second interval
monitor.start(interval=1.0, callback=handle_results)

# To stop monitoring
# monitor.stop()
```

### Using Simplified API
```python
# You can also use the simplified API functions
from stealthmon import create_monitor, stop_monitoring

# Start monitoring with default settings (checks all browsers every 1 second)
results = create_monitor()

# Or customize the monitoring
def handle_results(results, queries):
# Process monitoring results
pass

results = create_monitor(browser="chrome", interval=2.0, callback=handle_results)

# Later, stop the monitoring
stop_monitoring()
```

## Advanced Usage

### Tracking Specific Search Queries
```python
from stealthmon import StealthMon

# Initialize with configuration
monitor = StealthMon()

# Define a callback function that filters specific queries
def handle_results(results, queries):
for browser, data in queries.items():
for query_data in data.get('queries', []):
query = query_data.get('query', '').lower()
if "python tutorial" in query:
print(f"Educational search detected: {query}")

# Start monitoring with the callback
monitor.start(callback=handle_results)
```

### Customizing Detection Behavior
```python
from stealthmon import StealthMon

# Custom configuration
config = {
"browsers_to_monitor": ["chrome", "firefox", "edge"],
"check_interval": 3, # seconds
"search_engines": {
"google": {
"domain_patterns": ["google.com"],
"title_pattern": r"(.+) - Google Search"
},
"bing": {
"domain_patterns": ["bing.com"],
"title_pattern": r"(.+) - Bing"
}
}
}

# Initialize with custom config
monitor = StealthMon(config=config)

# Start monitoring
monitor.start()
```

### Command Line Interface
StealthMon also includes a command-line interface:

```bash
# Check all browsers once
stealthmon --once

# Monitor specific browser continuously
stealthmon --browser chrome

# Set custom interval
stealthmon --interval 2.5

# Quiet mode (no continuous display)
stealthmon --quiet
```

## Error Handling
StealthMon includes robust error handling for various scenarios:
- Browser detection failures
- Privilege or permission issues
- Missing dependencies
- Platform compatibility issues
