## What it is
HackBrowserData is a self-contained Go CLI that extracts and decrypts browser data (passwords, cookies, history, bookmarks, credit cards, downloads, localStorage, extensions) from Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, and Safari. It supports cross-host offline decryption by exporting master keys on the origin machine and decrypting copied data elsewhere.

## Use cases
- extract saved passwords from chrome
- dump browser cookies for incident response
- decrypt firefox saved logins
- forensic analysis of browser history and downloads
- recover chromium data from a disk image on another machine
- export browser bookmarks and localStorage during a pentest

## When to choose
- you need a single self-contained binary to extract browser artifacts on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you are doing authorized security research, red teaming, or digital forensics on browsers
- you need cross-host offline decryption of Chromium data using exported master keys
- you want JSON exports of passwords, cookies, history, and other browser data

## When to avoid
- you are not authorized to access the target system or data - this is illegal
- you need a GUI-based browser forensics suite with reporting features
- you need to modify or write browser data rather than extract it
- you need support for browsers outside the Chromium/Firefox/Safari matrix
