Features & Capabilities

JS Recon Buddy is a lightweight browser extension that scans a webpage using regex patterns to surface security-relevant information quickly. It identifies subdomains, endpoints and paths, potential secrets, DOM XSS sinks, interesting parameters, source maps, and JavaScript libraries found on the page.

If a valid source map is found, the extension attempts to deconstruct the original sources based on the map data. This tool is ideal for developers and security testers seeking fast reconnaissance directly in the browser.

Is JS Recon Buddy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

JS Recon Buddy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
