If you are using Selenium web driver with Python, you can use PyVirtualDisplay, a Python wrapper for Xvfb and Xephyr.
PyVirtualDisplay needs Xvfb as a dependency. On Ubuntu, first install Xvfb:
sudo apt-get install xvfb
Then install PyVirtualDisplay from PyPI:
pip install pyvirtualdisplay
Sample Selenium script in Python in a headless mode with PyVirtualDisplay:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
# Now Firefox will run in a virtual display.
# You will not see the browser.
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
print browser.title
browser.quit()
display.stop()
EDIT
The initial answer was posted in 2014 and now we are at the cusp of 2018. Like everything else, browsers have also advanced. Chrome has a completely headless version now which eliminates the need to use any third-party libraries to hide the UI window. Sample code is as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
CHROME_PATH = '/usr/bin/google-chrome'
CHROMEDRIVER_PATH = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
WINDOW_SIZE = "1920,1080"
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=%s" % WINDOW_SIZE)
chrome_options.binary_location = CHROME_PATH
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=CHROMEDRIVER_PATH,
chrome_options=chrome_options
)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.get_screenshot_as_file("capture.png")
driver.close()
Basically, the way the Selenium detection works, is that they test for predefined JavaScript variables which appear when running with Selenium. The bot detection scripts usually look anything containing word "selenium" / "webdriver" in any of the variables (on window object), and also document variables called $cdc_
and $wdc_
. Of course, all of this depends on which browser you are on. All the different browsers expose different things.
For me, I used Chrome, so, all that I had to do was to ensure that $cdc_
didn't exist anymore as a document variable, and voilĂ (download chromedriver source code, modify chromedriver and re-compile $cdc_
under different name.)
This is the function I modified in chromedriver:
File call_function.js:
function getPageCache(opt_doc) {
var doc = opt_doc || document;
//var key = '$cdc_asdjflasutopfhvcZLmcfl_';
var key = 'randomblabla_';
if (!(key in doc))
doc[key] = new Cache();
return doc[key];
}
(Note the comment. All I did I turned $cdc_
to randomblabla_
.)
Here is pseudocode which demonstrates some of the techniques that bot networks might use:
runBotDetection = function () {
var documentDetectionKeys = [
"__webdriver_evaluate",
"__selenium_evaluate",
"__webdriver_script_function",
"__webdriver_script_func",
"__webdriver_script_fn",
"__fxdriver_evaluate",
"__driver_unwrapped",
"__webdriver_unwrapped",
"__driver_evaluate",
"__selenium_unwrapped",
"__fxdriver_unwrapped",
];
var windowDetectionKeys = [
"_phantom",
"__nightmare",
"_selenium",
"callPhantom",
"callSelenium",
"_Selenium_IDE_Recorder",
];
for (const windowDetectionKey in windowDetectionKeys) {
const windowDetectionKeyValue = windowDetectionKeys[windowDetectionKey];
if (window[windowDetectionKeyValue]) {
return true;
}
};
for (const documentDetectionKey in documentDetectionKeys) {
const documentDetectionKeyValue = documentDetectionKeys[documentDetectionKey];
if (window['document'][documentDetectionKeyValue]) {
return true;
}
};
for (const documentKey in window['document']) {
if (documentKey.match(/\$[a-z]dc_/) && window['document'][documentKey]['cache_']) {
return true;
}
}
if (window['external'] && window['external'].toString() && (window['external'].toString()['indexOf']('Sequentum') != -1)) return true;
if (window['document']['documentElement']['getAttribute']('selenium')) return true;
if (window['document']['documentElement']['getAttribute']('webdriver')) return true;
if (window['document']['documentElement']['getAttribute']('driver')) return true;
return false;
};
According to user szx, it is also possible to simply open chromedriver.exe in a hex editor, and just do the replacement manually, without actually doing any compiling.

Normally when that happens it is because the path to the Selenium Test Suite is wrong. have you made sure that it is loading the correct version?
I also noticed that you are loading the browser without the * in the browser name. E.g use
I have a tutorial on how to get this going on my site at http://www.theautomatedtester.co.uk/seleniumtraining/selenium_rc_setup.htm
