offensive-jwt skillA

offensive-jwt is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: JWT attack methodology for penetration testers. Covers algorithm confusion (alg:none, RS256→HS256), weak HMAC secret brute force, kid parameter injection (SQLi, path traversal), jku/x5u/jwk header injection, JWKS cache poisoning, JWS/JWE confusion, timing attacks, and mobile JWT storage extraction. Use when testing JWT-based authentication, hunting auth bypass via token manipulation, or evaluating JWT implementation security in web or mobile apps..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

## Overview

Comprehensive JWT attack checklist for offensive security engagements. Follow steps in order; apply each technique to the current target context and track which items have been completed.

## Quick Reference: Misconfigurations to Check

- Algorithm set to `none` — signature verification bypassed entirely
- Algorithm switching between `RSA` and `HMAC` (confusion attack)
- Weak or guessable HMAC secret (brute-forceable)
- `kid`, `jku`, `jwk`, `x5u` header parameters accepted without validation
- Expired or tampered tokens accepted by server
- Sensitive data stored unencrypted in payload

Useful tool: [JWT Tool](https://github.com/ticarpi/jwt_tool)

## Mechanisms

JWTs (RFC 7519) consist of three Base64URL-encoded parts: `header.payload.signature`.

**Signing algorithms:**

| Algorithm | Type | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| HS256/384/512 | Symmetric HMAC | Shared secret; confusion target |
| RS256/384/512 | Asymmetric RSA | Public key can be misused as HMAC secret |
| ES256/384/512 | Asymmetric ECDSA | |
| PS256/384/512 | RSASSA-PSS | |
| EdDSA (Ed25519/Ed448) | Asymmetric | |
| none | Unsigned | Critically insecure |

How to install

Latest version
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-jwt@git:20260506.70e0c89
Exact content
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-jwt@sha256:f4062ca66c1241fb

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
