Retrovisor

Retrovisor is a simple script to add some features useful to retro-engineer any page with Javascript.

Setup

Copy and paste index.js content in your console.

Your entrypoint is Retrovisor variable in the global scope.

Api

Retrovisor.findValueInWindow(value)

Search the value in the entire window object.

Return value: an array containing all paths with the value.

Retrovisor.findRegexValueInWindow(regex)

Search a regex in the entire window object.
Each variable is tested by checking the string value of the variable and using it with regex.test(variable.toString()).

Return value: an array containing all paths with the regex + the string value of the variable.

Retrovisor.extractNonNativeVariablesFromWindow()

Search variables which has not been created by the browser and accessible from the window object.
This function needs a dump of a pure window variable to extract new values, because native variables didn't have anything to recognize them.

Return value: an object containing all new values.
It's a bit unstable, but it's enough for me currently.

Setup of this function

To use this function, you need to open a new empty tab in your browser, import Retrovisor and call Retrovisor.dumpCurrentWindowVariables().
Copy the return of this call and use it in your current tab (without the quotes around the result).
This will load a pure window dump and you're ready to use Retrovisor.extractNonNativeVariablesFromWindow().

Why this name

In French, we have the word rétroviseur (rear-view mirror in English).
So there's retro in the word (like retro-engineering), and visor exists in English.
End. Pretty dumb, huh?
