You can extract saved credentials and cookies from a compromised Chrome browser profile by performing browser profile extraction on Linux, Windows, and macOS systems. This post-exploitation technique harvests sensitive data to pivot to other internal systems.

You can execute JavaScript on a target browser by abusing the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) on exposed remote debugging ports like 9222 or 9229. This CDP abuse allows you to execute arbitrary JavaScript, steal active cookies, or read local files.

Crafting custom Manifest V2 or V3 browser extensions is an effective way to interact with target environments and exfiltrate data. This technique targets extension upload endpoints to establish persistence and steal sensitive information.

Browser exploitation supports post-exploitation credential harvesting and sensitive data extraction from compromised host browser profiles across Linux, Windows, and macOS systems. This ensures consistent results regardless of the underlying operating system.

You should use Chrome DevTools Protocol abuse during a penetration test when you discover exposed remote debugging ports like 9222 or 9229. This allows you to execute JavaScript, steal cookies, or read local files from the target browser.
