HMAC Generator

About HMAC Generator

Webhook docs say "sign with HMAC-SHA256." HMAC Generator takes a secret and a message, runs the keyed hash in Web Crypto, and shows the hex or Base64 digest you can paste into a test harness.

Build signatures when you are writing a receiver, replaying a fixture, or checking that your server and a vendor agree on the canonical string. Pick the digest encoding your API expects. Hex and Base64 look different for the same bytes.

Trap: hashing JSON after your framework pretty-printed it. Most providers sign the raw body bytes. Copy the exact payload string, including whitespace, that the wire will carry.

When the vendor folds a timestamp into the signed base (GitHub, Stripe, Slack styles), switch to Webhook HMAC so the base string matches their header format.

Secret and message stay in the tab for the Web Crypto call. Close the page or clear fields when you finish with a production signing key.

Generators and hashers run locally. Still, never paste production secrets into any site if your security policy forbids it.

Results live in page memory until you leave or clear. Favourites/history do not save password fields unless you explicitly store them in Vault.

When applicable, tools rely on Web Crypto or well-known libraries. Read on-page notes for exact algorithms (SHA-256, bcrypt-style notes, etc.).

After load, crypto helpers typically work offline. Confirm network independence for your threat model.

Browser CSPRNG (crypto.getRandomValues) powers secure generators when the tool states so.

Treat generated secrets like passwords - share only through approved password managers, never chat apps.

OneDevToolkit aids technical workflows; it is not a certification product. See Compliance for processing model language.
