You can use custom profile folder path. for example, enter chrome://version in your address bar

then use this command

./hack-browser-data -b chrome -p "C:\Users\Lori\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 3"

for OperaGX's profile path maybe is about://about

./hack-browser-data -b opera-gx -p "C://opera-gx/profile path"

yes, I know about the custom profile folder path, but the old version of HackBrowserData detects it auto so I guess it is better to be in this version too.

@moonD4rk
Did you find a way to solve the bug? if not I can give you my own suggestion, which I think is really appropriate?

[moonD4rk]

Very happy to hear your suggestios. @Amir-78

@moonD4rk Alright, so instead of setting the default profile path, you need to filter all directories in /Chrome/User Data/ and show only the directories that include Login Data file and make sure the directory is not System Profile because its not useful (The System Profile is a built-in-with-Chrome profile that backs the User Manager. Users do not use it for actual browsing; it provides a Profile for the User Manager (switch person window) only.), because when the user login by his google account to chrome and sync his data the default profile path will be changed to Profile 1, and also by this method you can extract all the accounts from all user profiles.

• Javascript Example Code:

//Windows;

const fs = require('fs');

let homeDir = `C:/Users/${require("os").userInfo().username}`

let chromeProfilesPath = homeDir + "/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/"

let chromeProfiles = [];

//Show all dirs in chromeProfilesPath;

fs.readdir(chromeProfilesPath, function (err, dirs) {
    //Filter all directories in chromeProfilesPath and show only the directory who includes "Login Data" file!

    dirs = dirs.filter(dir => fs.existsSync(`${chromeProfilesPath}${dir}/Login\ Data`) && dir != "System Profile")
    // Push results to chromeProfiles;
    for (var i = 0; i < dirs.length; i++) {
        chromeProfiles.push(`${chromeProfilesPath}/${dirs[i]}`)
    }

    //Show extracted profiles!
    console.log(chromeProfiles)
});

And to extract all the data from all the profiles you can use:

• access all the extracted profiles and extract the data one by one:

    for (var i = 0; i < chromeProfiles.length; i++) {
        console.log(`Getting Data from ${chromeProfiles[i]}`);
        extractData(chromeProfiles[i])// Your extractData function;
    }

@Amir-78 Thx, this makes perfect sense and I will try to refactor the code using this approach.

[Amir-78]
