Python in Firefox proof of concept (PoC)

In this section, we will write a Python script, that will automate the exact steps that we did using Immunity Debugger. For this purpose, we will be using a Python library called winappdbg, to automate the debugging of the Firefox process. So, let's start by installing this library. You can download the library from http://winappdbg.sourceforge.net/.

The steps mentioned in the Firefox process section, which we explained earlier can be translated into code. Let's do this step by step:

1. First, we need to get the process ID and then attach it to a debugger. The code in Python to do this is as follows:

...
debug = Debug(MyEventHandler()) # Create a debug object instance
try:
    for ( process, name ) in debug.system.find_processes_by_filename( "firefox.exe" ): # Search for Firefox.exe process, if found 
        print '[+] Found Firefox PID is ' + str (process.get_pid()) # Grab the Process ID (PID)
    debug.attach( process.get_pid() ) # Attach to the process...
