Installation

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/Cr0mb/Browser-Data-Extraction-Scripts.git
   cd Browser-Data-Extraction-Scripts
   

2. Install the required Python libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access your browser data (e.g., reading from Chrome or Firefox profiles).

Usage

Each type of data extraction has its own script. Here is an overview of how to use each:

1. Bookmarks Extraction The bookmarks will be saved as bookmarks.json in the current directory.

2. Passwords Extraction The passwords will be saved as passwords.json in the current directory.

3. Cache Extraction The cache data will be saved as cache.json in the current directory.

4. Cookies Extraction The cookies will be saved as cookies.json in the current directory.

5. Downloads Extraction The download history will be saved as download_history.json in the current directory.

6. History Extraction The history data will be saved as a CSV file for each browser, as well as a combined combined_history.csv.

Output

The extracted data will be saved in various formats:

JSON (for bookmarks, passwords, cache, cookies, and downloads)

CSV (for history and combined history)

The data will be saved in the current working directory. You can specify a custom directory by modifying the script.
