Jwtear

A modular command-line tool to parse, create and manipulate JSON Web Token(JWT) tokens for security testing purposes.

Features

• Complete modularity.
  • All commands are plugins.
  • Easy to add new plugins.
  • Support JWS and JWE tokens.
• Easy interface for plugins. (follow the template example)
• Flexible
• token generation based on production-class libraries (e.g. json-jwt, jwe).

Available plugins

• Parse: parses jwt tokens.
• jws: manipulate and generate JWS tokens.
• jwe: manipulate and generate JWE tokens.
• bruteforce: brutefocing JWS signing key
• wiki: contains offline information about JWT, attacks ideas, references.

Installation

install it yourself as:

$ gem install jwtear

NAME
    jws - Generate signature-based JWT (JWS) token.

SYNOPSIS
    jwtear [global options] jws [command options] 

DESCRIPTION
    Generate JWS and JWE tokens. 

COMMAND OPTIONS
    -h, --header=JSON               - JWT header (JSON format). eg. {"typ":"JWT","alg":"HS256"}. Run 'jwtear gen -l' for supported algorithms. (required, default: none)
    -p, --payload=JSON              - JWT payload (JSON format). eg. {"login":"admin"} (required, default: none)
    -k, --key=PASSWORD|PUB_KEY_FILE - Key as a password string or a file public key. eg. P@ssw0rd  | eg. public_key.pem (default: none)

• Use a plugin

plugins are defined as subcommands. Each subcommand may have one or more argument and/or switches.

$ jwtear parse -t eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.J8SS8VKlI2yV47C4BtfYukWPx_2welF34Mz7l-MNmkE
$ jwtear jws -h '{"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT"}' -p '{"user":"admin"}' -k p@ss0rd123
$ jwtear jwe -header '{"enc":"A192GCM","typ":"JWT"}' --payload '{"user":"admin"}' --key public.pem 
$ jwtear bruteforce -v -t eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjpudWxsfQ.Tr0VvdP6rVBGBGuI_luxGCOaz6BbhC6IxRTlKOW8UjM -l ~/tmp/pass.list

Add plugin

To add a new plugin, create a new ruby file under plugins directory with the following structure

module JWTear
  module CLI
    extend GLI::App
    extend JWTear::Helpers::Extensions::Print
    extend JWTear::Helpers::Utils

    desc "Plugin short description"
    long_desc "Plugin long description"
    command [:template, :pt] do |c|
      c.action do |global, options, arguments|
        print_h1 "Plugin template"
        print_good "Hi, I'm a template."
        template = TemplatePlugin.new
      end
    end
  end

  module Plugin
    class TemplatePlugin
      include JWTear::Helpers::Extensions::Print
      include JWTear::Helpers::Utils

      def initialize
        check_dependencies
        # ..code...
      end
     
      # ..code...
    end
  end
end

Instead of including all dependencies for each plugin into jwtear, you can add these dependencies as a hash to check_dependencies method which will require the library and throw a gentle error to the user to install any missing gems.

The hash key is the gem name to install, the hash value is the require string

deps = {'async-io' => 'async/ip'}
check_dependencies(deps)

Once the missing dependencies are installed by the user, the check_dependencies will require them once the plugin class initiated.
