Get Default Browser Path

[xC]

Another code from the archives..

Code: [Select]

printf( "Path: %s", GetBrowserPath( ) );

Code: [Select]

char* GetBrowserPath( )
{
    HKEY hKey;
    char szBuffer[1080];
    unsigned long lSize = sizeof( szBuffer ) + 1;
    if( RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "http\\shell\\open\\command", 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey ) == 0 ) {
        if( RegQueryValueEx( hKey, NULL, NULL, NULL, (unsigned char*)szBuffer, &lSize ) == 0 ) {
            RegCloseKey( hKey );
            return( strtok( szBuffer, "\"" ) );
        }
        RegCloseKey( hKey );
    }
    return( "Unknown" );
}

Checking the Application Data for known browsers is a better method than to access registry. And it's much simpler too, less detectable by AV's. I have implemented that in stealthstalker, which I'll post some time when I finish it...

Plus it is more portable. Checking the registry will only work for windows.

Not familiar with that method.. thanks for the post. I will look into it.
