Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post‑exploitation credential‑harvesting tool from Maldev Academy that extracts saved passwords, cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries and history from Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox. It bypasses Chrome’s App‑Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL to call the IElevator COM interface (using Early Bird APC injection) to recover encryption keys, uses DPAPI or NSS decryption for other browsers, outputs structured JSON, and includes evasion features (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication). The report details usage, supported browsers, attack scenarios, detection opportunities, and mitigation recommendations focused on reducing the browser credential attack surface.
