Is Hack-Tools safe?

Low risk

Hack-Tools is a red-team browser toolkit that routes CVE lookups through corsproxy.io and ships hardcoded API keys for RSS feed services.

The extension provides a collection of web penetration testing utilities accessible from the browser toolbar. When users look up CVE identifiers, the request passes through the third-party corsproxy.io proxy service, which can observe the CVE IDs being researched. Security news feeds are fetched via api.rss2json.com using two API keys hardcoded in the extension bundle.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
