Heretic tests browser-reported identity and device details against network, hardware, transport, and TLS measurements.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The integration is presented as a page-level bundle: install it, add it to the bundle, and receive a verdict rather than routing requests through Heretic. The sample API response includes stable rule IDs, evidence-family coverage, and provenance fields; one displayed contradiction compares a claimed Tokyo locale with a 2.1 ms RTT measured at a Warsaw edge, against a 27.4 ms physical minimum. The site identifies this response as synthetic.
