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

GLOBAL OPTIONS
-v, –version – Check current and latest version
-h, –help – Show this help message
COMMANDS
help – Shows a list of commands or help for one command
bruteforce, bfs – plugin to offline [bruteforce]( “bruteforce” ) and crack token’s signature.
jws, s – Generate signature-based JWT (JWS) token.
jwe, e – Generate encryption-based JWT (JWE) token.
parse – Parse JWT token (accepts JWS and JWE formats).

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. [email protected] | 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 [email protected]
$ 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]( “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]( “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.
