JWTweak - JSON Web Token [JWT] Algorithm Convertor and Generator Tool

Introduction

With the global increase in JSON Web Token (JWT) usage, the attack surface has also increased significantly. Having said that, this utility is designed with the aim to generate the new JWT token with little or no time which would help security enthusiasts to find security flaws in JWT implementation like JWT Algorithm Confusion Attack. This tool is designed to automate the process of modifying the JWT algorithm of input JWT Token and then generate the new JWT based on the new algorithm.

Requirements

Python 3 (tested and working fine in python-3.7.7/Kali and python-3.8.2/Windows 10)
pip3 install pycryptodomex

Features

  • Detects the algorithm of the input JWT Token
  • Base64 decode the input JWT Token
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘none’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘HS256’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘HS384’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘HS512’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘RS256’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘RS384’
  • Generate new JWT by changing the algorithm of the input JWT to ‘RS512’

Decoding Container Security: A Beginner's Guide to Essential Concepts

Understanding the Basic Terms and Concepts of Container Security  Introduction to Container Security Container security is an essential aspect of modern software development, particularly in the context of DevOps and cloud-native applications. As organizations increasingly adopt containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring the security of these containers becomes paramount. Container security encompasses a set of practices designed to protect containerized applications from various threats and vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional security practices, which focus on securing physical servers or virtual machines, container security emphasizes the protection of the containerized environment. Containers are lightweight, standalone units that package an application and its dependencies, enabling consistent deployment across different environments. This characteristic introduces unique security challenges that necessitate specialized approaches. The fundamental princi...
