A browser memory roaming tool for JavaScript reverse engineering that hooks variable assignments via AST-transformed proxy responses. It lets you search captured variable values (e.g., encrypted request parameters) to locate the code that generated them.

Use cases

• locate encryption logic for request parameters in javascript
• trace where an encrypted string is generated in a web page
• variable-level packet capture in the browser
• reverse engineer javascript anti-scraping parameters
• find code position of a token or signature in chrome
• hook dynamically injected scripts on a website

When to choose

• you need a generic, site-agnostic way to find where encrypted parameters are produced
• parameter-name searches or lightweight userscript hooks fail to locate the encryption code
• you want to inspect variable value changes across an entire page

When to avoid

• you only need simple network request inspection - Chrome DevTools suffices
• you need a polished, stable tool - the project is exploratory with a single main feature
• you need browser support beyond Chrome
