Readme
A Node.js package that can retrieve data from the user data directory in Chromium. Examples of this type of data are: accounts, history, and cookies. It is supposed to work on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems but the default location for the user data directory varies.
You'll need Node.js installed on your computer in order to build this app.
$ git clone https://github.com/Phoqe/browser-tools
$ cd browser-tools
$ npm install
If you don't wish to clone, you can download the source code.
Every public function has a parameter where you can specify a custom path for the user data file you want to access, I've gathered some paths here from the Chromium website.
Passwords and some other data are encrypted, to decrypt these you can use this C# function featured in the C# version of BrowserTools. You have to add a reference to the System.Security
namespace.
private static string Decrypt(string data)
{
if(data == null)
{
return null;
}
byte[] decryptedData = ProtectedData.Unprotect(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(data), null, DataProtectionScope.CurrentUser);
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decryptedData);
}
Feel free to send PRs and create issues regarding anything pretty much. An example on what you can do is adding more browsers to the private getBrowserPath function.
