Does Kameleo also change the Akamai hash?
No, the Akamai hash is not spoofed.
What is the Akamai hash?
The Akamai hash is a fingerprint derived from a combination of network-level and TLS-level characteristics that Akamai's systems use to identify and classify web clients. Akamai is one of the world's largest CDN and security providers, and its bot detection technology is used by many major websites to distinguish between human users and automated traffic.
The hash takes into account a range of signals including TLS behavior, HTTP/2 framing characteristics, and other low-level network attributes. Because it operates at such a fundamental level, it is extremely difficult to spoof accurately without an intimate understanding of how legitimate browsers behave at the network layer.
How Kameleo handles the Akamai hash
At this time, Kameleo does not modify or spoof the Akamai hash. The hash is generated naturally based on the actual browser and network behavior of the profile, no artificial manipulation is applied while the profile is running, and the value remains authentic to the underlying browser environment.
This approach prioritizes stability and authenticity over attempted spoofing. Introducing artificial manipulation of the Akamai hash without doing so with high fidelity could actually increase the likelihood of detection rather than reduce it, as Akamai's systems are specifically tuned to identify inconsistencies between expected and observed network behavior.
Example: A website protected by Akamai Bot Manager compares the Akamai hash against a database of known browser signatures. If Kameleo attempted to spoof the hash inaccurately, the mismatch between the claimed browser identity and the actual network behavior would likely trigger a detection flag. By leaving the hash authentic, Kameleo avoids introducing this kind of inconsistency.
What this means for you
If you are encountering blocks or challenges on Akamai-protected websites, the issue is unlikely to be resolved by hash spoofing alone. Akamai's detection is multi-layered, and addressing it typically requires a holistic approach to browser fingerprint consistency, network behavior, and traffic patterns. Our support team can help you review your profile configuration to maximize consistency across all detectable signals.
