What it does

Browser Extension Reverse is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Authorized reverse engineering of Chrome/Firefox extensions: manifest analysis, background workers, content scripts, and extension-based credential or data-exposure research.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/extension-analysis.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Browser extensions and Reverse engineering and malware. It works with Chrome Extensions. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser extensions
  • Tasks that involve Reverse engineering and malware

Example prompts

  • “/browser-extension-reverse”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 包体
  2. 逻辑
  3. 动态

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Browser Extension Reverse loads about 695 tokens when it runs, and up to ~777 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~695
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~777

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

⚠️ AUTHORIZED USE ONLY This skill is for educational purposes or authorized security assessments only. You must have explicit, written permission from the system owner before using this tool. Misuse of this tool is illegal and strictly prohibited.

Mandatory confirmation gate Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

  1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.
  2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.
  3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.
  4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

Browser Extension Reverse Engineering

When to Use

  • Auditing a browser extension's behavior and permissions in an authorized review.
  • Investigating how an extension handles credentials or sensitive page data.

适用场景

  • Chrome/Edge MV2/MV3 扩展分析
  • Firefox 扩展
  • 恶意扩展 IOC、供应链扩展投毒调查
  • 扩展实现的签名/加密/代理逻辑还原

工作流

1. 包体
text
□ crx 解压 / 从 profile 取扩展目录
□ manifest.json:permissions、host_permissions、background、content_scripts
□ 评估过度权限(<all_urls>、webRequest、debugger)
2. 逻辑
text
□ service_worker / background 入口
□ content_script 注入点与世界(isolated)
□ chrome.storage / IndexedDB 密钥
□ 与 `js-reverse` 相同:Observe 网络与消息传递(runtime.sendMessage)
3. 动态
text
□ 开发者模式加载解压目录
□ chrome://extensions 检查错误
□ DevTools 附加 service worker
□ 必要时 Frida/浏览器 CDP(jshookmcp)

工具链

参考

  • references/extension-analysis.md
  • field-journal 扩展恢复相关条目
  • ../js-reverse/ ../malware-analysis/

路由上下文

上游: MASTER R30
下游: 复杂混淆 JS → js-reverse;投毒调查 → supply-chain / malware

任务完成自检

  • 是否列出权限面与入口脚本?
  • 是否还原关键数据流?
  • Checklist?

Limitations

  • Extension stores update frequently; findings can go stale.
  • Dynamic analysis requires a profile isolated from personal accounts.
