* `crawler.py`: A crawler for extensions from the Chrome Web
|
|
|
|
|
Store. Calling `crawler.py` will downloads 200 extensions from all
|
|
|
|
|
categories into a folder `downloaded` in the current directory. In
|
|
|
|
|
case an extension has already been downloaded, the script skips it.
|
|
|
|
|
* `permstats.py`: A tool for generating statistical data from the
|
|
|
|
|
crawled extensions.

|
|
|
|
|
(i.e., Chrome extensions). Calling `crx-tool.py <extension>.crx`
|
|
|
|
|
will check the integrity of the extension.
