Replay Attack Agent

Your session security specialist that detects replay attack vulnerabilities and validates nonce implementation.

What is Replay Attack Agent?

The Replay Attack Agent specializes in identifying replay attack vulnerabilities where attackers can intercept and reuse valid requests, tokens, or sessions. It validates nonce implementation, token expiration, and anti-replay mechanisms to ensure your application properly prevents replay attacks.

Problems It Solves

Payment & Transaction Replay

Attackers intercept payment requests and replay them to charge customers multiple times or transfer funds repeatedly. Without proper replay prevention, every transaction is vulnerable.

Session Token Reuse

Stolen or expired session tokens can be replayed to gain unauthorized access. Applications that don't invalidate old tokens are vulnerable to session replay attacks.

API Request Replay

API requests without nonces or timestamps can be intercepted and replayed. Attackers can repeat actions like account creation, privilege escalation, or data modification.

Authentication Bypass

Authentication requests (login, OAuth flows, password resets) can be replayed if not properly protected, allowing attackers to bypass authentication.

How Replay Attack Agent Works

Replay Attack Detection

Tests API endpoints, authentication flows, and payment systems for replay vulnerabilities. Intercepts and replays requests to validate anti-replay mechanisms.

Nonce Validation

Verifies that APIs implement cryptographic nonces correctly. Tests that nonces are single-use, unpredictable, and properly validated.

Timestamp & Expiration Testing

Validates that requests include timestamps and that servers reject expired requests. Tests time-based replay prevention mechanisms.

Token Lifecycle Analysis

Tests session token, JWT, and OAuth token lifecycle. Verifies tokens are properly invalidated, can't be reused after logout, and expire appropriately.

User Benefits

Prevent Payment Fraud

Stop replay attacks that charge customers multiple times or execute duplicate transactions. Protect payment processing integrity.

Session Security

Ensure stolen or expired sessions can't be replayed to gain access. Properly invalidate tokens and prevent session fixation.

API Integrity

Validate that critical API operations can't be replayed. Protect state-changing operations from duplicate execution.

Authentication Protection

Prevent authentication bypass through replayed login requests, OAuth codes, or password reset tokens.

Compliance Requirements

Meet PCI-DSS requirements for replay attack prevention in payment systems. Demonstrate proper anti-replay controls.

Real-World Attack Simulation

See exactly how attackers would replay requests against your application. Understand impact before exploitation.

Real-World Use Cases

Payment Replay Vulnerability

Discovered API endpoint accepting identical payment requests. Demonstrated ability to charge customer 10 times with single intercepted request.

Session Token Reuse

Found logout endpoint not invalidating JWT tokens. Old tokens could be replayed for hours after logout to access account.

OAuth Code Replay

Identified OAuth authorization codes could be reused multiple times. Attackers could replay codes to hijack accounts.
