Summary
AI summaryChrome DB decryption extracts Slack session cookies automatically, adding Stealth Mode with zero audit footprint.
Full changelog
Chrome DB Decryption. Stealth Mode. Zero OAuth.
v4.1.0 reads Slack session cookies directly from Chrome's encrypted SQLite store — PBKDF2 + AES-128-CBC via macOS Keychain. No DevTools. No manual copy-paste. No OAuth app install.
What's New
- Chrome DB decryption —
npm run tokens:autoextracts thedcookie from Chrome's encrypted cookie jar. Thedcookie is HttpOnly (invisible todocument.cookie), so this is the only path that doesn't require manual intervention. - Stealth Mode — Session-token auth leaves zero footprint in Slack workspace admin. No bot user, no app install, no audit trail. IT admins see nothing.
- Codex CLI support — Confirmed compatibility with OpenAI Codex CLI alongside Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI.
- Video + asset overhaul — Full demo re-encoded at CRF 18 with color grading, sharpening, and vignette. 5 format variants (MP4, WebM, GIF, HQ cut, mobile portrait). All assets rebranded to
demo-slack-mcp-*.
