Category: Tools & Setup

A webhook fired at 2am, my handler 500’d, and the vendor’s dashboard just said “delivery failed.” No body, no signature, no clue. When I finally caught the payload, the first thing I needed to know was: is this actually from them, or is someone POSTing garbage at my endpoint? That question is answered by one line of crypto — an HMAC-SHA256 signature — and you can check it by hand in HashForge without pasting a production secret into some random website.

This post is about the boring, load-bearing part of webhooks that nobody documents well: how the signature header is computed, why your comparison keeps failing, and how to verify one manually when a delivery breaks.

What the signature header actually is

Every serious webhook provider signs the request body. GitHub sends X-Hub-Signature-256. Stripe sends Stripe-Signature. Shopify sends X-Shopify-Hmac-Sha256. Different header names, same idea:

signature = HMAC-SHA256(secret, raw_request_body)

The provider and you both know a shared secret. They hash the exact bytes of the body with that secret and ship the result in a header. You recompute the same hash on your side. If the two match, the message is authentic and untampered. If they don’t, you reject it with a 401 and move on.

The reason this matters: your webhook URL is public the moment you register it. Anyone who finds it can POST a fake “payment succeeded” event. Without signature verification, your app will happily believe them.

Verifying a GitHub signature by hand

GitHub’s own docs use a concrete example, which makes it perfect for a sanity check. Secret is It's a Secret to Everybody, body is Hello, World!. The expected signature is:

757107ea0eb2509fc211221cce984b8a37570b6d7586c22c46f4379c8b043e17

Open HashForge, switch to the HMAC panel, drop the secret into the key field and the body into the message field, pick SHA-256. You get exactly that hex string. That’s the whole verification. GitHub prefixes it with sha256= in the header, so the real value on the wire is sha256=757107ea... — strip the prefix before comparing.

I like doing this in HashForge specifically because it runs entirely in the browser. The HMAC is computed with the Web Crypto API (crypto.subtle.sign), so your secret never leaves the tab. Check the Network panel if you don’t believe me — there are no outbound requests. Pasting a webhook secret into a server-side “online HMAC generator” is the kind of thing that ends up in someone’s access logs.

The three reasons your comparison fails

Manual verification exposes the bugs that silently break webhook handlers. In order of how often they’ve bitten me:

1. You hashed the parsed body, not the raw body. This is the big one. Frameworks love to parse JSON for you. But JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(body)) is not the original bytes — key order changes, whitespace vanishes, unicode gets re-escaped. The signature is over the exact bytes the provider sent. In Express you need the raw buffer:

app.post('/webhook',
  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
  (req, res) => {
    const sig = req.get('X-Hub-Signature-256');
    const expected = 'sha256=' + hmacSha256(secret, req.body);
    // req.body is a Buffer here, not a parsed object
  }
);

If your handler works in tests but fails in production, this is almost always why — a body parser upstream mangled the bytes before you hashed them.

2. Wrong key encoding. Most providers treat the secret as a UTF-8 string. Some — a few payment and banking APIs — give you a hex or base64 secret that must be decoded to raw bytes first. Hashing the literal hex characters instead of the decoded bytes gives a completely different result. If HashForge’s output doesn’t match and you’re sure the body is right, this is the next thing to check.

3. Non-constant-time comparison. Once the bytes are right, don’t compare signatures with ===. A naive string compare returns early on the first mismatched character, which leaks timing information an attacker can measure. Use a constant-time compare:

const crypto = require('crypto');
function safeEqual(a, b) {
  const ba = Buffer.from(a), bb = Buffer.from(b);
  if (ba.length !== bb.length) return false;
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(ba, bb);
}

Stripe adds a timestamp — and so should you

Stripe’s Stripe-Signature header isn’t just the HMAC. It looks like:

t=1699999999,v1=5257a869e7ecebeda32affa62cdca3fa...

The signed payload is t + "." + body, not the body alone. So you concatenate the timestamp, a literal dot, and the raw body, then HMAC-SHA256 that whole string with your signing secret. To reproduce it in HashForge, paste 1699999999.{your raw body} into the message field.

The timestamp exists to stop replay attacks. Someone who captures a valid signed request can’t resend it a day later, because you also check that t is within a few minutes of now. If you’re building your own webhook sender, copy this pattern — sign the timestamp alongside the body and reject stale ones.

When to reach for manual verification

You don’t do this on every request — your code handles the happy path. Manual HMAC checking earns its keep in exactly three moments:

• First integration. Before you trust your verification code, confirm it against a known payload. Recompute the signature in HashForge and diff it against what your handler produced. If they disagree, your handler is wrong, not the provider.
• A specific delivery failed. Grab the raw body and the signature header from the provider’s delivery log, recompute by hand, and you’ll immediately see whether it’s a body-encoding bug or a genuinely bad signature.
• Rotating secrets. After changing a signing secret, verify one real event manually before you trust the pipeline again.

If you want the byte-level view of what’s actually being hashed, the Web Crypto API is worth understanding — it’s the same primitive HashForge uses under the hood. And if you’re inspecting the JWTs some webhooks carry instead of HMAC headers, the offline JWT reader covers that failure mode.

Keep the secret on paper, not in a note app

One habit worth building: webhook signing secrets are long-lived credentials, and they end up scattered across .env files, CI variables, and password managers. I keep the master copy of anything I can’t regenerate in a small hardware-backed spot rather than a cloud note. A cheap encrypted USB key for offline secret backups has saved me twice when a password manager sync went sideways. Full disclosure: that’s an Amazon affiliate link.

The point of verifying signatures at all is that you don’t get to be sloppy with the secret. Compute the HMAC in the browser, compare in constant time, hash the raw bytes, and check the timestamp. Four rules, and your webhook endpoint stops trusting strangers.

You can try the HMAC verification yourself right now in HashForge — pick SHA-256, paste a secret and a message, and watch the signature appear without a single network request.

• Why the Web Crypto API won’t compute MD5
• Stop pasting JWTs into online base64 decoders

A junior dev on my team once wanted to add a “check if your password was breached” feature to our signup form. His first instinct: POST the plaintext password to Have I Been Pwned and show a warning if it came back dirty. I stopped him before the PR got anywhere. Sending a user’s raw password to a third party to prove it’s not compromised is the kind of irony that ends up in a postmortem.

The good news is that HIBP solved this exact problem years ago with a technique called k-anonymity, and it’s genuinely clever. You can check any password against 900+ million breached credentials without ever sending the password, its full hash, or anything that identifies it. I’ll walk through how it works, show the actual bytes on the wire, and explain why this is one of the few “phone home” security checks I trust in a browser.

The problem with a naive breach check

The obvious design is: hash the password, send the hash, get back a yes/no. But a SHA-1 hash of a password isn’t anonymous. SHA-1 is fast and unsalted here, and breach corpuses are massive. If you send the full hash 5BAA61E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8, the server (or anyone sniffing the request) can reverse it in microseconds against a rainbow table. That hash is literally the word password. You’ve leaked the credential.

You need a way to ask “is this password in your list?” where the server learns nothing useful about which password you asked about. That’s what k-anonymity buys you.

How the range API actually works

The trick is to send only the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash. Here’s the full flow for the password password:

SHA-1("password") = 5BAA61E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8
                    └─┬─┘└──────────────┬──────────────────┘
                   prefix (5)        suffix (35)

GET https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/5BAA6

You send 5BAA6. The server responds with every breached-hash suffix that shares that prefix — the tail 35 hex characters plus a breach count, one per line:

003D68EB55068C33ACE09247EE4C639306B:29
00658BFD1E05761042698D19D32CD9F1A8F:15
...
1E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8:52372427
...

That last line is the one you care about. Your browser (not the server) scans the response for your suffix 1E4C9B93F3F0682250B6CF8331B7EE68FD8, finds it, and reads the count: 52,372,427. The word “password” has appeared in 52 million breached records.

The server never saw which suffix you were looking for. It handed back roughly 800–1,000 candidates and let you do the final match locally. When I hit that prefix, I got 1,977 hash suffixes back. Any one of them could have been “your” password. That’s the anonymity set.

Doing it yourself in ~15 lines

No API key, no rate limit worth worrying about, and CORS is wide open so this runs fine from browser JavaScript. Here’s the whole thing in Python so you can see there’s no magic:

import hashlib, urllib.request

def pwned_count(password):
    h = hashlib.sha1(password.encode()).hexdigest().upper()
    prefix, suffix = h[:5], h[5:]
    url = f"https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/{prefix}"
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
    body = urllib.request.urlopen(req).read().decode()
    for line in body.splitlines():
        s, count = line.split(":")
        if s == suffix:
            return int(count)
    return 0

print(pwned_count("password"))                  # 52372427
print(pwned_count("123456"))                     # 210461208
print(pwned_count("correcthorsebatterystaple"))  # 4173
print(pwned_count("xK9#mQ2vLp8$wZ4nR7tB"))       # 0

Those are real numbers I pulled today, not made up. A couple of them are worth sitting with. 123456 shows up 210 million times — it’s the single most breached string on the internet. And the famous XKCD passphrase correcthorsebatterystaple? Pwned 4,173 times. The moment a password becomes advice, it becomes a dictionary entry. Randomness is the only thing that keeps you at zero.

The JavaScript version is nearly identical, using the built-in crypto.subtle.digest("SHA-1", ...). This is exactly the kind of thing SubtleCrypto is good at — unlike MD5, which the Web Crypto API flatly refuses to compute. (I wrote a whole teardown of why Web Crypto won’t do MD5 if you want that rabbit hole.)

The padding option most people miss

There’s a subtle leak in the basic scheme. Response sizes vary — a prefix might return 400 suffixes or 1,200. A network observer counting bytes can sometimes narrow down which prefix you requested, and popular prefixes correlate with common passwords. HIBP added a fix: send the header Add-Padding: true and the server pads every response with a random number of fake, zero-count entries.

curl -s "https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/5BAA6" \
     -H "Add-Padding: true" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0"

# ...real entries...
DBB7A2BC0BCFAC5BF1E8B50FFC97A118303:0   ← decoy
...

When I added the header, the response grew from 1,977 to 2,122 lines — 144 of them decoys with a count of :0. Your matching code already ignores anything with count zero, so the padding is invisible to you but blows up traffic-analysis attacks. If you’re building this into a product, turn padding on. It costs a few KB.

Why browser-only matters here

k-anonymity protects you from the HIBP server, but it doesn’t protect you from your own backend if you route the check through it. The cleanest design is to hash and query entirely client-side, so the plaintext never leaves the tab. That’s the same principle behind every tool I build here — the file, the password, the hash never touches a server I control.

Our HashForge hash generator computes SHA-1 (and SHA-256, and yes, even MD5) locally in the browser, which is exactly the primitive you need for the prefix step. Pair it with a real random generator instead of a memorable-but-guessable passphrase, and you close the loop. Our password generator uses crypto.getRandomValues() rather than Math.random() — the difference between those two is a genuinely scary gap I’ve written about before.

One gotcha: this is a filter, not a verdict

A count of zero doesn’t mean a password is strong — it means it hasn’t leaked yet. Tr0ub4dor&3 might return zero and still fall to a targeted attack in seconds because its structure is predictable. Breach-checking is a floor, not a ceiling. Use it to reject known-compromised passwords at signup, then rely on length and true randomness for actual strength. NIST’s SP 800-63B guidance says exactly this: screen against breach corpuses, drop the forced-rotation and complexity theater, and let users pick long random strings.

If you want to run this at scale in your own infra, a hardware security key makes the whole password question moot for the accounts that matter. I keep a YubiKey 5 NFC on my keychain for exactly that reason (full disclosure: affiliate link — it’s the one I actually carry). For everything else, the k-anonymity check is 15 lines and a free API away.

Go hash something. Start with your own most-reused password and see what number comes back. If it’s not zero, you’ve got a weekend project.

Last month I watched a teammate debug an auth bug by pasting a production JWT into the first “base64 decode online” result on Google. The token was a live bearer credential — valid for another 50 minutes, signed for our payments service. He pasted it into a text box on a server he’d never heard of, hit decode, and read the payload. The bug got fixed. The token also got handed to a stranger’s web server, where it sat in request logs that neither of us will ever see.

That’s the quiet problem with online base64 tools, and it’s why I keep pointing people at Base64Lab instead. It does the same decode, except the bytes never leave the tab. No upload, no round trip, no log entry on someone else’s box. Below is what actually happens under the hood, why the “URL-safe” toggle matters more than people think, and where the browser’s built-in tools fall on their face.

Why pasting a JWT into a random decoder is a credential leak

A JWT is three base64url segments joined by dots: header, payload, signature. The first two decode to plain JSON. The third is the HMAC or RSA signature. Decoding it doesn’t “crack” anything — but the point is the whole string is the credential. If your decoder runs server-side, you just POSTed a working bearer token to a third party.

Most “free online” decoders are server-side. You can tell because they work even with JavaScript disabled, or because the network tab shows a request firing on every keystroke. Some are honest hobby projects. Some are ad-funded and log everything. You have no way to know which, and “it’s probably fine” is not a security model when the input is a live session token, an API key in a config blob, or a base64-encoded `.env` file.

Base64Lab is the opposite by construction. Open the network tab, decode a 2 MB file, and you’ll see exactly zero requests carrying your data. The only ping it makes is a one-pixel image hit to a counter endpoint — tool name plus a timestamp, no input, no payload. Everything else is `atob`, `btoa`, and a `TextDecoder`, running in your tab.

The URL-safe gotcha that breaks the browser console

Here’s the part that trips up even experienced devs. You might think “I don’t need a tool, I’ll just run `atob()` in the console.” Try it on a real JWT payload and watch it throw.

// A JWT payload segment is base64URL, not standard base64
atob("eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIn0")
// Works here, but feed it bytes that encode to + or /
// and the url-safe variant uses - and _ instead:
atob("-_-_Pj_4")
// Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'atob':
// The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.

Base64url swaps two characters from the standard alphabet: + becomes -, / becomes _, and trailing = padding is usually dropped. The browser’s `atob` only understands the standard alphabet with correct padding, so it rejects exactly the strings you most often need to decode — JWTs, OAuth state params, anything that travels in a URL.

The fix is a normalization step the tool does for you on every decode:

function decode(str) {
  let n = str.replace(/-/g, '+').replace(/_/g, '/').replace(/\s/g, '');
  while (n.length % 4 !== 0) n += '=';   // re-add stripped padding
  const raw = atob(n);
  try { return decodeURIComponent(escape(raw)); } // UTF-8 aware
  catch { return raw; }                            // fall back to raw bytes
}

I tested this against the standard JWT from jwt.io. The header decodes to {"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT"} and the payload to {"sub":"1234567890","name":"John Doe","admin":true,"iat":1516239022} — and the same input throws an `Invalid character` exception through bare `atob`. That `replace`/repad dance is the whole reason a dedicated tool beats the console.

The UTF-8 trap, and the emoji that proves it

The second thing naive decoders get wrong is multi-byte text. `atob` hands you a binary string where each character is one byte. If the original was UTF-8 — anything with an accent, a CJK character, or an emoji — you need to reassemble those bytes back into code points. Skip that step and “café” comes back as “café”.

The decodeURIComponent(escape(raw)) trick handles it: `escape` percent-encodes each byte, then `decodeURIComponent` reads those percent groups as UTF-8. Encoding runs the mirror image with btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(data))). It’s an old idiom, but it round-trips correctly, and the `try/catch` means raw binary that isn’t valid UTF-8 falls through untouched instead of corrupting silently. I checked a string of emoji through encode then decode — byte-identical out the other side.

Where it beats the command line too

I live in a terminal, so I’ll be honest about when `base64 -d` is the right call: scripting, pipes, CI. But three things push me back to the browser tab more often than I expected.

• It auto-detects direction. Paste base64, it decodes; paste plain text, it encodes. No flipping a -d flag and re-running.
• Per-line mode. Got a file of base64 strings, one per line? Toggle per-line processing and each row decodes independently instead of the whole blob being treated as one stream. macOS `base64` won’t do that without a `while read` loop.
• It previews images. Paste a data:image/png;base64,... URI and it renders the actual image, which is the fastest way I know to sanity-check an inline asset.

And because it’s a PWA with a service worker, it works offline. Load it once, kill your wifi, and it still decodes — which is exactly the posture you want for a tool that touches secrets. I’ve written before about why I stopped uploading files to free online tools; this is the same principle applied to text.

The honest limitation

Base64 is encoding, not encryption. Decoding a JWT shows you the claims; it does not verify the signature or let you forge one. If you need to validate signatures or test signing keys, that’s a different job — reach for a proper JWT library, not a base64 tool. Base64Lab’s lane is fast, private, correct decode/encode of text and files. It stays in that lane on purpose.

If you handle tokens and config blobs all day, a mechanical keyboard with proper n-key rollover genuinely cuts down on the typo-induced “why won’t this decode” rabbit holes — I use a Keychron K2 mechanical keyboard (full disclosure: affiliate link) and the tactile feedback alone has saved me from more than one mispasted credential. For the security-minded, a YubiKey 5 hardware key (affiliate link) is the right answer for the auth flows those JWTs come from in the first place.

Try the tool here: Base64Lab. If you want more like it, HashForge does the same browser-only treatment for hashing, and RegexLab for regex testing — all of them in the free tools collection.

• Reading a JWT offline: spotting alg:none
• Verifying webhook signatures by hand

Last week I needed an MD5 checksum to verify a file against a vendor’s published manifest. Old habit kicked in: open devtools, reach for the Web Crypto API, type one line. It failed on the spot:

await crypto.subtle.digest('MD5', new TextEncoder().encode('abc'))
// DOMException: Algorithm: Unrecognized name MD5

No MD5. Not deprecated-with-a-warning — just absent, like it was never on the menu. That single rejection is the whole reason HashForge, the in-browser hash generator I keep bookmarked, ships its own MD5 routine instead of asking the browser. Here’s why the browser says no, and how HashForge works around it without uploading your file anywhere.

The Web Crypto API blocks MD5 on purpose

The digest side of the Web Crypto API supports exactly four algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. That list is fixed in the W3C spec. MD5 isn’t missing because nobody filed a ticket — the working group left it out, along with MD4, because shipping a broken hash through an API named “crypto” invites people to misuse it.

MD5 has had practical collision attacks since 2004, when Wang and Yu produced two different inputs with the same digest by hand-tuning the message. By 2008 researchers used MD5 collisions to forge a rogue CA certificate. The hash is finished for anything where an attacker controls the input.

Here’s the part I find funny: the browser still lets you compute SHA-1, which Google and CWI fully collided in 2017 with the SHAttered attack. SHA-1 stayed in the spec for backward compatibility with existing protocols. MD5 never made the cut at all. The vendors drew a line, and MD5 landed on the wrong side of it.

I agree with that call for new code. The catch is that the rest of us still bump into MD5 constantly, and almost never for security:

• Vendor downloads still publish an MD5 next to the file
• S3 ETags are the MD5 of the object for single-part uploads
• Legacy rows store md5(email) for Gravatar-style lookups
• Plenty of internal tools fingerprint content with MD5 because it’s fast and short

So you hit a wall. The data is MD5, the browser refuses to compute MD5, and you would rather not paste a confidential file into some random “free MD5 online” site that ships it off to a server you’ve never audited.

How HashForge fills the gap

HashForge splits the work in two. For the SHA family it calls the native API — fast, audited, hardware-accelerated on most machines:

const ALGOS = ['MD5','SHA-1','SHA-256','SHA-384','SHA-512'];

async function hashText(text, algos, enc='hex'){
  const encoded = new TextEncoder().encode(text);
  const out = {};
  for (const algo of algos){
    if (algo === 'MD5'){
      out[algo] = formatHash(md5(encoded.buffer), enc);     // pure JS
    } else {
      const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest(algo, encoded); // native
      out[algo] = formatHash(hash, enc);
    }
  }
  return out;
}

For MD5 it falls back to a self-contained JavaScript implementation — the classic safeAdd / bitRotateLeft / md5cmn routine you’ve seen in a dozen libraries, working directly on an ArrayBuffer. No dependency, no network call, a couple hundred lines of code.

Why MD5 is small enough to ship inline

MD5 is a Merkle–Damgård construction. It pads the message to a multiple of 512 bits, then chews through it one 512-bit block at a time, updating four 32-bit state words across 64 operations grouped into 4 rounds. The whole thing is integer addition, bit rotation, and a handful of boolean mixing functions. That’s it — no S-boxes, no lookup tables, no big constants beyond a sine-derived table you can generate in one line.

Because the algorithm is so plain, a correct MD5 fits in a few hundred bytes of minified JavaScript. SHA-512 by hand would be heavier and slower in JS, which is exactly why HashForge doesn’t reimplement the SHA family — the native crypto.subtle path is both faster and already vetted. You only drop to hand-rolled code for the one algorithm the platform won’t give you.

The privacy detail that actually matters

Files go through the same split. The page reads the file with file.arrayBuffer() and hands the raw bytes straight to either the native digest or the JS MD5:

const buf  = await file.arrayBuffer();
const hash = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', buf);

That arrayBuffer() call is the whole privacy story. The bytes are read into memory inside your tab and never touch a network socket. Open the Network panel while you hash a 200 MB ISO and you’ll see zero requests. Pull your wifi and it keeps working, because there was never a server in the loop. Compare that to the typical “online hash calculator,” which POSTs your file to a backend and trusts you to believe their retention policy.

Verify the output yourself in ten seconds

Don’t take my word that the MD5 path is correct — a hash tool that quietly mis-pads is worse than no tool. Hash the empty string and abc, then check against the canonical test vectors:

MD5("")        = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
MD5("abc")     = 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72
SHA-256("abc") = ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad

Type abc into HashForge and you’ll get those exact bytes. I cross-checked them against md5sum and sha256sum on a Linux box before trusting the tool with anything real. Two-minute habit, and it catches a surprising number of broken implementations.

HMAC is native-only, and that’s the right limit

One place HashForge refuses to fill a gap: HMAC. It offers HMAC-SHA1/256/384/512 and stops there, because Web Crypto’s importKey plus sign('HMAC', ...) only accepts the SHA family. There’s no HMAC-MD5 button.

That’s correct, not lazy. If you’re computing an HMAC you’re authenticating something, and HMAC-MD5 has no place in new code. The tool steers you to SHA-256 by simply not offering the broken option — the same stance the browser takes on raw MD5, applied one layer up.

Which hash for which job

A quick field guide, because this question comes up every week:

• Matching a published checksum: use whatever the publisher used, MD5 or SHA-256. You’re catching accidental corruption, not an attacker, so a broken hash is fine here.
• Content fingerprint, cache key, dedup: SHA-256 if you have a free choice; MD5 only to match an existing system.
• Passwords: none of these. Use Argon2 or bcrypt. A raw SHA-256 of a password is still a leak waiting to happen.
• Tokens and signatures: HMAC-SHA256 at minimum.

If you want the actual math behind why MD5 fell and SHA-256 holds, Serious Cryptography by Jean-Philippe Aumasson is the clearest book I’ve found on collision attacks without drowning you in proofs. For the engineering side — where each primitive shows up in TLS, signatures, and storage — Real-World Cryptography by David Wong is the one I lend out most. Full disclosure: both are Amazon affiliate links.

Why I keep it bookmarked

The pitch is narrow and that’s the point. I need a hash, I can’t install a CLI on a locked-down work laptop, and I really don’t want to upload a file to a stranger’s server. HashForge does that one job: it computes all five digests at once, outputs hex or Base64, and runs on a text string or a dropped file. It pairs with the other browser-only tools I reach for — Base64Lab when I need to decode a token and PassForge when I need a random key — none of which phone home.

Try it: HashForge. Hash something, open your Network tab, and watch nothing happen.
