offensive-jwt SKILL.md skillA
offensive-jwt from snailsploit/claude-red is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-jwt@git:20260506.70e0c89Pins git:20260506.70e0c89 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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 | **Additional pitfalls:** …

How to install
mdr add snailsploit/claude-red/offensive-jwt@sha256:f4062ca66c1241fbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.70e0c89, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
