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 and extracting *.crx files (i.e., Chrome extensions). Calling crx-tool.py <extension>.crx will check the integrity of the extension.

All utilities are written in Python 3.x. The following non-standard modules might be required:

  • requests (apt-get install python3-requests)
  • dateutil (apt-get install python3-dateutil)
  • jsmin (apt-get install python3-jsmin)
