StormBreaker is a dual-use software concept. While developers create these tools to help security analysts understand browser vulnerabilities and human factors in security, using StormBreaker against targets without explicit, written authorization is illegal under computer fraud laws globally (such as the CFAA in the United States or the Computer Misuse Act in the UK). It should only be deployed in controlled lab environments or during authorized red-team engagements.
When the victim clicks the link, StormBreaker instantly grabs their public IP address and browser user-agent. If the victim clicks "Allow" on any browser permission prompts, the scripts instantly transmit their exact coordinates, webcam captures, or microphone audio back to the attacker's command center.
