Stop fraud, bots, and
repeat abuse with device intelligence
Identify returning devices across browsers, private mode, and VPNs. Block high-risk traffic, reduce false positives, and improve trusted-user experiences — all from one platform.

Solutions
Real problems.
Real signals that catch them.
Every solution below lists the exact signals the matcher leans on and a measurable characteristic you can verify. No customer savings figures — we're pre-launch, and making them up is how vendors get caught.
Why Lightning Research
Built different.
Proven better.
90+
signals
Hardware-Level Signals
GPU rendering, WebGL pipelines, and audio processing create fingerprints that survive browser changes, incognito mode, and VPNs.
Real-time
bot detection
AI-Powered Protection
ML models detect bots, headless browsers, AI agents, and behavioral anomalies in real time.
37ms
avg response
Low-Latency API
Fingerprint, analyze, and respond before paint. Built for latency-sensitive applications.
Product Suite
Five products.
One platform.
Each product works standalone or together — unified by a single API key and dashboard.
LR Trace
Device Fingerprinting
GPU-level identification that persists across browsers, incognito sessions, and VPNs. Collect 90+ hardware and software signals and generate a stable device ID in under 40ms.
const result = await client.identify()
// => {
// device_id: "fp_9k2x...mR4",
// confidence: 0.995,
// signals: 90,
// latency_ms: 37
// }
LR Shield
Network Intelligence
Detect VPNs, proxies, Tor exit nodes, and spoofed geolocations in real time. Multi-source IP reputation scoring across 12+ protocols.
const net = await client.network.analyze(ip)
// => {
// is_vpn: true,
// provider: "NordVPN",
// risk_score: 0.82,
// geo_mismatch: true
// }
LR Guard
Bot & AI Agent Detection
ML-powered behavioral analysis that distinguishes real humans from bots, headless browsers, AI agents, and automation frameworks in real time.
const bot = await client.bot.detect()
// => {
// is_bot: false,
// bot_score: 0.02,
// human_confidence: 0.98,
// classification: "human"
// }
LR Insight
Behavioral Analytics
Understand your device landscape — OS distribution, browser capabilities, session patterns, and conversion attribution — all in real-time dashboards.
const data = await client.analytics.query({
range: "30d",
metrics: ["devices", "sessions"]
})
// => { devices: 14892, sessions: 48201 }
LR Intel
Threat Intelligence
Risk scoring, federated threat feeds, botnet detection, and anomaly alerting. Know your threat surface before damage occurs.
const threat = await client.threat.assess(id)
// => {
// risk_score: 0.12,
// level: "low",
// flags: [],
// recommendation: "allow"
// }

Comparison
Why teams switch to
Lightning Research
Hardware-level signals, faster response times, and capabilities others don't offer.
Why It Works
Technical proof,
not marketing claims.
We believe the best way to evaluate device intelligence is to test it yourself. Try the live playground — no signup required.
90+
Device Signals
GPU timing, WebGL rendering, canvas, audio context, hardware specs, and dozens more — all collected in under 40ms.
24
Character Device ID
A cryptographic SHA-256 fingerprint computed from GPU, canvas, audio, and hardware signals — unique to each device, persistent across sessions.
5
Integrated Products
Fingerprinting, network intelligence, bot detection, analytics, and threat intelligence — all from one API key and one dashboard.
FAQ
Common questions
LRDefender helps fraud, product, and engineering teams stop account takeover, payment fraud, bot attacks, multi-accounting, promo abuse, paywall bypass, and more — all with one platform and one API.
We collect 90+ browser, hardware, and behavioral signals — GPU renderer, WebGL pipelines, canvas rendering, audio context, screen properties, and more — to generate a unique, persistent device identifier without cookies.
Yes. Our GPU-level fingerprinting creates the same device ID whether the user visits from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Brave. This is our core technical differentiator.
We collect no personally identifiable information. The system is designed for GDPR and CCPA compliance. SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress, and our architecture is ISO 27001 aligned.
Our fingerprinting persists through incognito mode because we use hardware-level signals (GPU, audio context) that don't change between sessions.
Average response time is 37ms. Fingerprint collection, analysis, and risk scoring happen in parallel to minimize latency impact on your users.
Enterprise customers can deploy the entire stack on their own infrastructure. No data ever leaves your network. We support AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise.
Free tier includes 10,000 identifications per month. Pro starts at $99/mo with 100K IDs. Enterprise is custom with unlimited volume, dedicated SLA, and on-premise options. No credit card required to start.
