|
* `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.
|
|
|
|
|
* `crx-tool.py`: A tool for analyzing `*.crx` files (i.e., Chrome
|
|
|
|
|
extensions). Calling `crx-tool.py <extension>.crx` will check the
|
|
|
|
|
integrity of the extension.
