CRX Extractor is a web-based tool designed for developers and security researchers to extract the source code of Chrome extensions from .crx files. With CRX Extractor, users can analyze the code, debug, and pentest Chrome extensions to identify potential security vulnerabilities.

Key Features

• Extract source code from .crx files
• Download .crx files directly from the Chrome Web Store
• Analyze Chrome extension code for security vulnerabilities
• Supports debugging and pentesting of Chrome extensions

How It Works

1. Upload or provide the URL of a Chrome extension to extract the .crx file.
2. CRX Extractor parses the .crx file, extracts the 'magic' header, and stored code signature.
3. The extracted source code is then available for download as a .zip archive, including metadata.

CRX Extractor is built based on official Google documentation describing the .crx file format, ensuring a reliable and accurate extraction process. The tool operates entirely on the browser side, ensuring user privacy and data security.

Use Cases

• Security researchers can analyze Chrome extension code to identify potential security vulnerabilities.
• Developers can learn from existing Chrome extensions and build better user experiences.
• Users can inspect Chrome extensions for malicious code before installing them.
