About this tool
Webhook Signature Validator
The Webhook Signature Validator computes and verifies HMAC-SHA256 signatures against GitHub, Stripe, Twilio, and Svix webhook formats with replay attack timestamp checking.
• Verify a webhook signature during integration development
• Debug a webhook that's failing signature validation in production
• Understand GitHub's X-Hub-Signature-256 header format
• Check timestamp validation for replay attack prevention

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Webhook Signature Validator computes and verifies HMAC-SHA256 signatures against GitHub, Stripe, Twilio, and Svix webhook formats with replay attack timestamp checking.
What affects the result most?
HMAC-SHA256 signature: hex(HMAC-SHA256(secret, payload)) — standard across GitHub, Stripe, Twilio. Timing-safe comparison: use constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks on signature validation. Timestamp validation: reject webhooks with timestamps older than 5 minutes (replay attack prevention).
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
