Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-harvesting tool that extracts saved passwords, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries, history, and bookmarks from major Windows browsers. It bypasses Chrome's App-Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL using Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface, handles DPAPI keys for Opera-derived browsers, and uses NSS decryption for Firefox; output is written as structured JSON. The report documents operational evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser), outlines attack scenarios and red-team relevance, and provides detection and mitigation guidance focused on monitoring IElevator calls, headless browser instantiation, and non-browser reads of browser SQLite databases.
