Show HN: Wirebrowser – A JavaScript debugger with breakpoint-driven heap search

Summary

Wirebrowser Wirebrowser is a debugging, interception, and memory-inspection toolkit powered by the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). It unifies network manipulation, API testing, automation scripting, and deep JavaScript memory inspection into one interface. With features like Breakpoint-Driven Heap Search and real-time Live Object Search, Wirebrowser provides researchers and engineers with precise, high-visibility tools for client-side analysis, reverse engineering, and complex application debugging. 🧭 Overview Network Intercept, block, rewrite, and replay HTTP requests and responses in real time. Memory Inspect, search, and modify JavaScript memory using both live heap analysis and heap snapshots, with full support for object identity search, primitive search (via snapshots), structural matching, and runtime patching. Live Object Search — Search all live JavaScript objects using regex or structural matching, and patch matched objects at runtime to alter state or behavior dynamically. Static Heap Snapshot Search Capture a full V8 heap snapshot and search all objects and primitives, including strings and closure-captured values that are unreachable through the Runtime domain. Origin Trace (BDHS) — Performs automatic debugger pauses and captures a full heap snapshot at each stop. Every snapshot is searched to identify the user-land function responsible for creating or mutating the target value. Framework and vendor scripts are filtered out via heuristics. BDHS also includes a tolerance window that samples snapshots before and after the first match, providing contextual insight into when and how a value is introduced or mutated. Hybrid Structural Similarity Engine (cross-modal) A shared similarity engine used across Live Object Search, Heap Snapshots, and BDHS timelines. Enables shape-based searches, clustering, and origin tracing for objects that evolve over time. API Collection Create, edit, and execute API requests with variable substitution and structured collection...
