Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post‑exploitation credential‑harvesting tool designed to extract saved logins, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card data, autofill entries, history, and bookmarks from major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera variants, Vivaldi, and Firefox). It bypasses Chrome’s App‑Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL that uses the IElevator COM interface to decrypt the app_bound_encrypted_key, leverages DPAPI and NSS where applicable, and includes multiple evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parsing). The report covers usage, extraction output, detection and mitigation guidance, and the tool’s relevance to red teams and defenders testing credential exposure.
