RenderDoc inject into Google chrome failing

Hi so I am trying to start chrome with white tab(no graphical api) following this Google maps to 3D model tutorial and part of it instructs to inject RenderDoc into Google chrome but the injection is failing
I'm suspecting that this is what is causing the injection to fail is that chrome is loading with graphical api involved:
I made a shortcut with Target in properties holding" C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "SET RENDERDOC_HOOK_EGL=0 && START "" ^"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe^" --no-sandbox --gpu-startup-dialog""
Using it opens this
But it should be like this
And can inject into it
But when I click the ok button in the pop up "GPU starts with pid: 2408" puts me out and when I try to reinject does this
Any idea how I can fix this?
Tried different versions of RenderDoc (1.17 and 1.24), running on cmd instead of shortcut and restarting machine.
I'm going crazy with this problem....
Chrome restart several times, before restarting I noticed injection success with upper status bar visible, but when chrome restart last time injection fails.
I suspect that chrome has a system to detect injection and try several methods to block it, until a new restarted gpu process has avoided it.
I'm actually searching in this direction to solve the problem (if I'm right).
Confimation of this : https://www.securityweek.com/chrome-block-apps-injecting-its-processes/
...So I'll try a chrome version before 72 of January 2019, when chrome try to blocks all injections...

Server has a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman public key. How to by-pass it?

While I'm trying to visit a specific website (that one: https://login.uj.edu.pl) I'm getting ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT error. Here is the problem: "Server has a weak ephemeral Diffie-Hellman public key".
More about the issue there: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/o3vZD-Mg2Ic
I know that it should be fixed by a webmaster but until it happens I have to access the page every day anyway. I found an extension to Firefox to avoid this error: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/disable-dhe/
Now i want to get rid of the error in Google Chrome (well, Chromium actually). Is there any possibility to make it work? It's my university's page and it can take years for the site administrator to fix that secure connection issue.
What's strange the problem occurs in Linux only, in all the browsers. In Windows, Chrome-OS or Android there is nothing wrong. I know that using insecure connection is wrong but in that case I have no choice.
EDIT:
I cannot accept any solution because the site I was trying to access changed its encryption to the right one. Now I can't test your solutions because the problem is already solved by site admins.
The solution is:
Type in your browser (I tried in Iceweasel)
about:config
Search for
security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha
security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha
Set them both to false (just double click to set them to false or true).
That's it!
This solution worked for me:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0088,0x0087,0x0039,0x0038,0x0044,0x0045,0x0066,0x0032,0x0033,0x0016,0x0013
The recent release (Sep. 1) to Chrome 45 contains the fix for the Logjam attack as detailed in https://weakdh.org but it introduce this kind of problem.
I found it in this post
Quick hack to get around this issue (Mac OSX)
Run this in commandline to workaround the issue while launching Chrome
Chrome:
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --args --cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0088,0x0087,0x0039,0x0038,0x0044,0x0045,0x0066,0x0032,0x0033,0x0016,0x0013
Canary:
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app --args --cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0088,0x0087,0x0039,0x0038,0x0044,0x0045,0x0066,0x0032,0x0033,0x0016,0x0013
For Firefox
Go to about:config
Search for security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha and security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha
Set them both to false.
NOTE: Permanently fix would be to update the DH key with a length > 1024
Are you by any chance on the Chrome development channel, or possibly the Beta channel? I know that the dev channel currently has some stricter rules on SSL keys, and Beta might as well. You might try getting the stable release from https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel and see if that runs without the error.
Use netsurf (netsurf aur) on that site. I am on the same boat with you. Using Arch and Chromium and Firefox both refuses to enter certain websites. Netsurf can do the job for me.
I have also facing this issue and resolved by #Duccio Fabbri answer,
--cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0088,0x0087,0x0039,0x0038,0x0044,0x0045,0x0066,0x0032,0x0033,0x0016,0x0013
I don't know why this works but it works, for permanent use of this you can follow below step.
Go to browser short cut
Right click and Go to properties
Go to Short cut tab
Go to Target textbox, in this you will find your chrome full path , add above string at the end of path.
and it will look like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --cipher-suite-blacklist=0x0088,0x0087,0x0039,0x0038,0x0044,0x0045,0x0066,0x0032,0x0033,0x0016,0x0013
Apply and close it.
Now it will work.when you open it next time.
At Fireforx I was facing the same problem, I did the following changes and it worked for me,
Firefox:
Go to about:config from browser tab
Search for security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha and security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha parameter.
Set them both to false.
I was also getting this error, I reset the chrome settings to fix it: Settings > show advanced settings > Reset setting
I found the solution for apache tomcat in this stackoverflow question, I just copy the solution:
Just edit 'conf/server.xml' adding the 'ciphers' attribute to your https connector:
<Connector
...
ciphers="TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA"
...
Practically you're explicitly defining the list of allowed ciphers, excluding the Diffie-Hellman ones (the one with 'DHE' in the name).
Open Server.xml file in your tomcat and set attribute "ciphers"
<Connector port="8007" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" ciphers="SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA" />

How do I make the Google Chrome flag “--allow-file-access-from-files” permanent?

" google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files "
Like i have an app,that requires chrome to have this security restriction on local files removed.
So i cant type do this everytime i take the app.
Any ideas?
PS: It would be great if you can tell what the positives and negatives about it,as well as how to revert back if needed.
On Linux Operating System (specifically UBUNTU)
Slightly Permanent Method
Go to the menu entry/ launcher for Chrome (.desktop file)
Open the launcher properties dialog.
It should look something like this: ‘/usr/bin/google-chrome %U’
Change it to ‘/usr/bin/google-chrome --allow-access-from-files‘ to
make the flags work permanently
You may also need to delete and re-pin your launcher(s) after
modifying it. Chrome should launch with the specified flags enabled
after the modification.
PS: I found this here, haven't tried this out..

Change to this file were not saved to file system error in google chrome version 30.0.1599.101 m

In the google chrome version 30.0.1599.101 m I am not able to save the changed js file.
On saving the js file I got yellow triangle symbol with "change to this file were not saved to file system" message.
I know this used to work in older version
I am using windows-7 64 bit
Click on the cog in the developer tools window (lower right corner)
Go to workspace and add the directory which you would be working on.
This is to accidentally prevent you from modifying files that you did not intend on changing.
Happened to me too. After picking the workspace directory, I also mapped the file from the "Source" panel of Devtools to its filesystem equivalent (using right-click on the file, from the file tree). It solved my problem.
In chrome > 63, accepted answer option is disabled.
In later should be done through workspaces.
Tonight, I accidentally managed to fix this problem, just open the file on the disk and save it with a simple change even with a space.
Refresh the page in Chrome, Chrome will link it(The file) to the disk.
Using Ctrl + F5 to clear the browser cache worked for me.
I found nothing in "workspace" that seemed relevant, and other things people listed didn't help either. What helped was to go in dev tools, where it says Pages, Sources etc., there is also Overrides (duh :)), I chose it, it said "Select folder for overrides", I did, and then also clicked "Allow" on Chrome asking for confirmation. That's it, after that I was able to save the files, the overrides worked.
Ok, my case might be a bit different but I will share my experience on what I was facing that caused to this warning and how I solved it.
I was trying to check a certain strange behavior on a React app for video streaming, so I opened up Developer console, enabled local overrides and tried editing the js file, immediately upon saving I got the warning “Changes to this file were not saved to file system”.
Note the message at bottom right “Source mapped from app.bundle.min.js”, this indicated that this is not an actual file but a mapping from the app.bundle.js (Webpack bundle)
So I moved to editing the app.bundle.min.js, I searched the appropriate string I was interested in from the mapped file (react-dom.production.min.js) and searched it in app.bundle.min.js
Again I got the same warning but I noticed the “app.bundle.min.js” file was fetched using a url parameter ?v=4900, I decided to remove it to check if that was the culprit causing the issue, to achieve that I modified the index.html file and edited the script tag that was fetching the js file from
<script src="libs/app.bundle.min.js?v=4900"></script> to <script src="libs/app.bundle.min.js"></script>
After that I forced refresh the page (Shift+F5, normal refresh didn’t work), tried modifying and saving and Jackpooot!! (Take away: You can’t override files fetched with a url parameter). I then was able to beautify, modify and override the app.bundle.min.js implementation and achieved what I wanted.
On Chrome Version 109~ :
Go to F12 > Sources Tab > Overrides (You may need to click the chevron next to Page)
Select/Create a folder to contain Overrides
You can now right-click a file or editor window & save it for Overrides
Image of sources tab where Overrides is located
Something to note: if you are making dynamically loaded JS available in devtools via the helpful: //# sourceURL=Example.js comment, this network to local mapping will not work.
Note: Notice the "//# sourceURL=dynamicScript.js" line at the end of dynamicScript.js file. This technique gives a name to a script created with eval, and will be discussed in more detail in the Source Maps section. Breakpoints can be set in dynamic JavaScript only if it has a user supplied name.
https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/javascript-debugging
When you're using sourceURL, you can't actually find the respective JS file in the Sources tree where you might expect it to exist. It is available to open via the "no-domain" tree, however (or quick open with CTRL/CMD+P).
I'm still looking for a solution.
The easiest solution I found to this problem:
(keep in mind, I was manipulating an html page that lives on my machine)
open the associated html page from the command line so the page displays
for mac, that's simply $ open <name>.html
open Dev Tools
open Sources tab
in Page, open a new .js file there with whatever name you need
write in some text and save
This worked for me. Yes, I had to create a new .js file, but my directory locally recognized it was there when I pulled it, and my editor was updating in real time with the dev tools each time I saved either. At that point, my editor and the dev tools source tab had become one thing.
Currently on Chrome 100.0.4896.60 (Official Build) (x86_64).
I've got a js file with source maps; the override has always been spotted.
I'm able to override the map file (which won't work though for the debugging purpose) and the index.html file.
Apparently my issue is related to minified js with source maps.
Seem to work in relation to the chrome version installed.
I tried the following attempts but didn't work:
remove cache
disable / enable override
add the dir to the workspace
install chrome canary
To debug then I've tried:
build my file.min.js to test. In my case was production/file.min.js
start a npx http-server in production (cd production && npx http-server) which open to http://127.0.0.1
override index.html to consume http://127.0.0.1/file.min.js
Interesting considerations:
When i was doing basic overriding i had to replace the file manually all the times.
Now, I've got a watch task going on and i can basically refresh the page.
I can see as well the source map update.
It's simple! Right click on your page, Go to Inspect, go to the Network tab and tick the check box 'Disable cache'. Reload the page and you will see the effect.

Automating Google Chrome extension packaging

I'm trying to automate packaging of the Chrome extension on Windows and according to the documentation, it is this command:
[path]\chrome.exe --pack-extension=c:\myext --pack-extension-key=c:\myext.pem --no-message-box
However this command results in a new browser window and no action is performed. I tried other switches like --version or --help but it seems that Chrome is ignoring all of this. Do others have the same issue? What am I doing wrong? I also tried various quoting and with no other browser window open but I haven't been able to make this work.
Update: I'm happy to learn that the new Chrome 8 has fixed this issue.
The answer is present in one of the comments. I am reposting the answer verbatim here:
You can try one of the scripts to pack
an extension at
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/crx#scripts
– by Na7coldwater
You'll need to close all chrome windows before the command line pack extension command will work.
I raised this bug with the chrome team some time ago (http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22901) but it's not quite fixed yet. This can be somewhat frustrating because (as michaelhermannweber pointed out) "Since we're fans of Chrome, obviously Chrome is already open!"
I even tried to use a separate instance of the chrome executable to build the extension, but alas no luck on that front either :(
For now, AFAICT you have to do it manually via the pack extension button on the chrome://extensions page.
You might manage to build a script that closes all open chrome windows, builds the extension, and then re-opens chrome. But I doubt that it would be worth it given the number of tab users like to keep open.
