# ExtensionCrawler
A collection of utilities for downloading and analyzing browser
extension from the Chrome Web store.
A Python crawler for extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
* `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.

```
python crawler.py

All Utilities are written in Pythen 3.x.
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.
