I don't think there's actually anything concrete to discuss. After reading the post, my feeling is that the author is probably fishing for HN geeks that would be intrigued to test his headless detection mechanism. Which would be borderline antisocial behaviour towards the HN community. This would better fit under the "Ask HN" label. Moreover, I'm not even sure how useful would this community testing be academic-wise. Black-box testing is great stuff for CTF competitions. But any decent academic venue would dismiss systems that can't withstand white-box testing as security-through-obscurity.
