A new Penetration Test tool was released. The tool comes as Chrome extension and can be used to search for vulnerabilities. The Microbe can be used by experts security for multiple purposes.
Developed by Cosmin Gheorghita, a 19 programmer from Romania. Microbe can be used to detect vulnerabilities that allow SQL Injections, but also to analyze and modify requests and HTTP headers.
The multi-tool also brings a cookie manager, a form handler, a proxy manager, a coding multi-tool called Krypton, a section to enable or disable various elements (cookies, JavaScript, browser plugins), but also override methods and queries for developing SQL Injection syntaxes. Microbe supports functions with shortcodes.
When you install Microbe, you can access a web page by right-clicking and selecting Element Inspection. Then, in the devtools navigator, you should see a new tab called Microbe.
You can only access the Chrome extension through the Element Inspection because, for security reasons, Google has forbidden users to access the devtools page.
Security Tip: Do not install the extension on systems that contain your personal data as it asks for access to several of them. See the picture below.
