Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post‑exploitation credential‑harvesting tool (Windows executable + DLL) that extracts saved passwords, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries and browsing history from major Chromium- and Gecko-based browsers. It implements a headless Chromium spawn + DLL injection (Early Bird APC) to use the IElevator COM interface and decrypt Chrome/Edge/Brave App‑Bound Encryption keys, retrieves DPAPI keys for Opera/Vivaldi, and uses NSS decryption for Firefox; output is written as structured JSON. The report describes operational evasion features (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser), an attack scenario demonstrating rapid credential exfiltration and session replay risk, and detection/mitigation guidance for EDR and policy-level controls.
