Browser Reverse Engineering Toolkit

Capture browser-session evidence, crawl websites in a persistent Chromium session, and generate offline architecture/API reports plus OpenAPI, SDK and mock-server drafts from saved captures.

Requirements and limitations

  • Manual capture needs access to the target browser session. Crawling requires Node.js/npm, Playwright and its Chromium browser; the reviewed package declares Playwright ^1.44.0 but no Node engines minimum.
  • The Node.js reconstructor processes saved captures offline. The toolkit is experimental; generated architecture, OpenAPI, SDK and mock-server outputs need review and do not establish complete application or backend recovery.
  • Browser-side capture cannot read HttpOnly cookies or bypass authorization. Request hooks see traffic only after installation; source-map references are hints, and true screenshots require browser automation.
  • Authenticated captures may contain sensitive data. Upstream masking guidance was source-reviewed but not independently tested. MIT-licensed.
