JWT Authentication Demo

Learn JWT by reverse engineering & debugging

This is an interactive tutorial to learn about JWT by reverse engineering. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll learn what a JWT is and how you can implement authentication using JWTs in your app.
We'll start with examples and then reverse engineer by deconstructing each part.

Prior Knowledge Expected
I am expecting you to have a very high-level overview of following concepts but I will also make sure to link necessary learning resources wherever you need them

• HTML forms and cookies
• HTTP web requests
• Public-key cryptography (no need to learn the math, just learn what it does)
• Base64 encoding (no need to learn the math)
