We will start our HTTP server on the Kali machine to receive the hacked password of the target site. We will simply double-click on the Chrome Dumper EXE file. You will see that we were able to have the saved password remotely out of a Chrome database. Here, we grabbed the Facebook email and password, and also the Twitter account. Now, if we move to the target machine, we will see that the following are the two sessions that are currently open on the target site:
