Firefox-Passwords-Decryptor: Extracts and decrypts passwords saved in Firefox

The additional features this tool brings (port enumeration, list usb devices, system info), makes me thing the tool was not designed for good/ethical reasons, but to ease the life of infostealers that are usually distributed via Discord.

In the grown up world where people can hold a respectful discussion, there's a difference between being able to use stock code in your malware and distributing ready-to-be-used code.

You are aware that satellite guided surface to air missile systems are not a mere git clone away? There are good reasons for controlling weapons, while still letting everybody be free to study them.

No one is talking about a satellite guided surface to air missile system.

A weapon is a weapon.

Professionals can assemble their own tools. Why package it up all nice for the skiddies?

We outlawed sticks because sticks can be used to press the red "do not press" button

It's not even done well.

Say you're building a feature for a password manager to import passwords from firefox. You'd want the the firefox decryption functions to be available as library.

Or say you're building a tool to extract data from broken hard drives, partially recovered filesystems, etc. Again, you'd want to have this available as a library so you can import the functions you need and use them in your own tooling.

Normally you'd expect this package to primarily export a lib with a "cli" subfolder that provides a sample CLI tool that imports the lib.

The fact that this tool requires libusb which is solely needed for the useless list usb devices functionality is extremely sketchy. It makes using this tool legitimately harder and only helps attackers.

What's the idea behind a satellite guided surface to air missile system? The ground station detects the target with radar, derives a set of GPS coordinates for an intercept, transmits those coordinates to the missile, and the missile guides itself to them via GPS receiver? Seems suboptimal.

Congratulations, we’ve mapped the space of possible harm from mild discomfort to death.

Something like that. It’s really only useful when you have to intercept at really long distances, as in ballistic missile defense.
