API Security

Scan APIs, Analyze OpenAPI Specs, and Decode JWTs in One Tool

REST, SOAP, OpenAPI, and JWT tokens in one place. Point the scanner at a live API, upload a Swagger / OpenAPI spec to flag insecure endpoints, and paste any JWT to inspect its header, claims, and signature weaknesses.

How It Works

From target input to actionable findings in three straightforward steps.

01

Pick the Mode

Scan a live API, upload an OpenAPI / Swagger spec, or paste a JWT — whichever matches what you are auditing.

02

Automated Checks

The engine runs authentication, authorization, mass-assignment, injection, and JWT-signing checks against your input.

03

Findings + Next Steps

Results are grouped by endpoint / claim with severity and a one-line remediation.

Key Capabilities

Purpose-built scanning backed by real penetration testing expertise.

REST & SOAP Coverage

Exercises GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE with auth variants and common injection payloads.

OpenAPI / Swagger Parser

Flags endpoints without auth, overly broad scopes, undocumented response codes, and missing rate limits.

JWT Weakness Detection

alg=none, weak HS256 secrets, kid injection, missing exp/iss/aud, signature stripping.

AuthZ Playbook

Runs BOLA / BFLA probes to catch broken object-level and function-level authorization.

Consistent with Live Scans

The same engine that powers the paid Pentestas scans runs the free checks — no placeholder logic.

No Tool Switching

Swagger analysis and JWT decoding are first-class sections of this tool, not separate pages.

Common Use Cases

Quick pre-release audit of a new REST endpoint
Validate an OpenAPI spec before publishing to the API portal
Decode a suspicious JWT captured in an incident
Spot mass-assignment and BOLA regressions during a sprint
Pre-engagement reconnaissance on authorized API targets
Verify that a JWT auth change did not silently disable signature verification

Why Use Pentestas

Security tools built by penetration testers, not just developers.

Enterprise-Grade Accuracy

Our scanning engine is built on the same methodologies our penetration testers use in manual engagements, tuned to minimize false positives and surface genuine risk.

Fast, Actionable Results

Get findings in minutes rather than days. Every result includes severity ratings, technical evidence, and clear remediation steps your team can act on immediately.

Continuous Monitoring

Schedule recurring scans from the Pentestas platform to catch regressions before they reach production. Stay ahead of new CVEs and configuration drift.

Privacy First

Your scan data is encrypted at rest and in transit. You own your data, with full control over retention and export.

Detailed Reporting

Export findings as PDF, CSV, or JSON. Feed results directly into your SIEM, ticketing system, or CI/CD pipeline through our REST API.

Instant Setup

Run scans directly from your browser. Enter a target, click scan, and receive results. Ready in under a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run all three checks at once?
Yes — scroll through the API scan, Swagger analyzer, and JWT analyzer sections on this page. Each one works independently.
Is GraphQL covered here?
GraphQL has its own dedicated page because its introspection / query-abuse surface is different from REST. Use the GraphQL Scanner for that.
Does the free tier keep a history?
Two free runs per tool per IP per day. For history, scheduling, and deeper modules, sign up at app.pentestas.com.
