EdgeDump-Stealer is a small PowerShell script that the author describes as being built to take advantage of the Microsoft Edge browser storing unencrypted, cleartext passwords in system memory. According to the README, running it extracts those credentials and sends the captured data to a separate Python listener, meaning a small server that waits to receive whatever the script sends it. The README states that the PowerShell portion mainly wraps existing C sharp code from a project referred to as L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N, rather than implementing the credential extraction from scratch. The author labels the intended use as a clickfix style smash and grab attack, a term for a social engineering approach where a victim is tricked into running a malicious command themselves, often through a fake error message or prompt. The README is very short and includes a disclaimer that the project was made for fun and should not be used for actual crime. It does not include installation steps, usage instructions, or further explanation of how the script is meant to be deployed. There is no stated license for this repository. Because the README frames this tool around stealing saved browser passwords without the user's knowledge or consent, it describes offensive malware rather than a defensive or educational security utility. Readers should treat this repository as a description of a known credential theft technique rather than as software to run.
