Webhook HMAC Signature Debugger

Client-Side Webhook HMAC SimulatorWebCrypto Native

Debug signature validation errors without leaking signing secrets to external servers. Runs 100% in browser RAM.

Signature Verification FAILED

The calculated digest does not match the signature provided in the request headers.

Calculated Digest (SHA-256 / HEX)
(Enter secret and payload to compute)
Extracted Expected Signature
(No signature detected in header)
Server-Side Verification Snippets
// Next.js App Router (src/app/api/webhook/route.ts)
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import crypto from 'crypto';

export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
  // CRITICAL: Must read raw text to avoid JSON mutation
  const rawBody = await req.text();
  const signature = req.headers.get('stripe-signature') || '';
  const secret = process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET!;

  // Parse Stripe header: t=...,v1=...
  const parts = Object.fromEntries(signature.split(',').map(p => p.split('=')));
  const expectedSig = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret).update(`${parts.t}.${rawBody}`).digest('hex');
  const isValid = crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(parts.v1 || ''), Buffer.from(expectedSig));

  if (!isValid) {
    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Invalid HMAC signature' }, { status: 401 });
  }

  // Safe to process verified event
  const payload = JSON.parse(rawBody);
  return NextResponse.json({ received: true });
}

How to Use Webhook HMAC Signature Debugger

Follow these simple steps to process your files securely in browser memory.

1Step 1 of 3

Select Webhook Provider Preset

Choose Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack, Twilio, Razorpay, or Custom HMAC (SHA-256 / SHA-1 / SHA-512).

Pro Tip: Provider presets automatically prefill required signature headers (e.g., stripe-signature, x-hub-signature-256).
2Step 2 of 3

Enter Secret, Payload & Received Header

Paste your signing secret, raw request body, and the signature header received from the provider.

Pro Tip: The diagnostic analyzer flags invisible trailing spaces, newline discrepancies, and machine clock drift.
3Step 3 of 3

Inspect Visual Diff & Copy Verified Middleware

View character-by-character mismatch highlights, or copy plug-and-play middleware code for your backend stack.

Pro Tip: Uses Web Crypto API (crypto.subtle) for 100% cryptographic accuracy.

Typical Real-World Use Cases
  • Debugging mysterious webhook verification failures across Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack, Twilio, and Razorpay
  • Detecting invisible CRLF (\r\n) vs LF (\n) newline mutations that cause cryptographic mismatches
  • Generating production-ready signature verification middleware for Next.js, Express, FastAPI, and Go

Character-by-Character Diff

Pinpoints exact byte discrepancies.

CRLF vs LF Detector

Solves the #1 cause of webhook verification bugs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Webhook HMAC Signature Debugger

The #1 culprit is web framework body-parser mutations! Many frameworks parse JSON and re-serialize it with altered whitespace or convert Unix LF (\n) into Windows CRLF (\r\n), corrupting the byte sequence needed for HMAC verification.
