Hacking Tools, Hacker News & Cyber Security

DumpBrowserSecrets is a post-exploitation credential-harvesting tool that extracts saved credentials, session cookies, OAuth refresh tokens, credit card details, autofill data and browsing history from major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera/Opera GX, Vivaldi, Firefox). It bypasses Chrome's App‑Bound Encryption by spawning a headless Chromium process and injecting a DLL via Early Bird APC to call the IElevator COM interface and decrypt the app_bound_encrypted_key; it handles DPAPI and NSS-based encryption for other browsers, writes structured JSON output, and includes multiple operational evasion techniques (string obfuscation, API hashing, PPID/argument spoofing, handle duplication, custom SQLite parser). The report highlights high impact risks for compromised developer endpoints (cloud account takeover, lateral movement, persistent SaaS access), detection opportunities (injection, IElevator calls, reads of browser SQLite files) and mitigation recommendations.
