Is Hack-Tools safe?
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.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 9 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
