Features & Capabilities

New Hackbar is a webextension-based sitebar designed specifically to assist penetration testers in performing manual web security testing directly inside their browsers. It serves as a modern alternative to the original XUL-based Hackbar, ensuring continued compatibility with Firefox versions 57 (Quantum) and later.

Featuring most core functions of the original Hackbar, New Hackbar provides an intuitive interface accessible from either the left or right sidebar to conform with Firefox's policies. Key functionalities include URL loading, execution commands, and URL splitting, with keyboard shortcuts such as F9 to toggle the sidebar and combinations like Alt + A or Control + Z for quick actions.

Developed by mxcx and continuously improved based on user feedback, this extension is essential for web security professionals seeking a streamlined and powerful testing tool inside their browser environment.

Is New Hackbar 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.

New Hackbar requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

New Hackbar is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
