Stealing browser passwords with Python

Python is a very powerful language when it comes to cyber security. There are tons of amazing offensive and defensive security tools written in Python and its very easy to customize and modify them to serve our needs. In this section, we will see how we can use Python in order to steal passwords that are stored in browser. Again, since we have so many amazing tools already available and out of the box ready to use, we will not be reinventing the wheel, but instead reusing what is already out there. Let's download the GitHub repository as shown:

git clone https://github.com/AlessandroZ/LaZagne.git
cd LaZange
pip3 install -r requirement.txt

Next, simply run the tool to see the browser passwords as follows:

python3.5 laZagne.py browsers
