ExtensionCrawler

A collection of utilities for downloading and analyzing browser extension 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.

All Utilities are written in Pythen 3.x.
