Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-harvesting tool that targets major Windows browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera variants, Vivaldi, and Firefox) to extract saved passwords, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries, and history. For Chromium-based browsers it bypasses App-Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL to use the IElevator COM interface to decrypt the app_bound_encrypted_key; for DPAPI-based browsers it retrieves DPAPI keys, and for Firefox it uses direct NSS decryption. The tool outputs structured JSON, includes evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser), and is positioned for red team/assumed-breach assessments but represents a realistic threat if abused by adversaries to achieve lateral movement and cloud account takeover.
