Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-harvesting tool that extracts browser-stored secrets (cookies, saved logins, OAuth refresh tokens, credit cards, autofill, history, bookmarks) from Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. It implements an App-Bound Encryption bypass for Chrome/Edge/Brave by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL to use the IElevator COM interface to decrypt keys, and uses DPAPI/NSS methods for other browsers. The report covers usage, evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, Early Bird APC injection), a realistic attack scenario, detection opportunities, and mitigation recommendations.
