sj is a command line tool designed to assist with auditing of exposed Swagger/OpenAPI definition files by checking the associated API endpoints for weak authentication. It also provides command templates for manual vulnerability testing.
It does this by parsing the definition file for paths, parameters, and accepted methods before using the results with one of three commands:
automate- Crafts a series of requests and analyzes the status code of the response.prepare- Generates a list of commands to use for manual testing.endpoints- Generates a list of raw API routes. Path values will not be replaced with test data.brute- Sends a series of requests to a target to find operation definitions based on commonly used file paths.
To compile from source, ensure you have Go version >= 1.20 installed and run go build from within the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/BishopFox/sj.git
$ cd sj/
$ go build .To install the latest version of the tool, run:
$ go install github.com/BishopFox/sj@latestUse the
automatecommand to send a series of requests to each defined endpoint and analyze the status code of each response.
$ sj automate -u https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json -q

The process of reviewing and testing exposed API definition files is often tedious and requires a large investment of time for a thorough review.
sj (swaggerjacker) is a CLI tool that can be used to perform an initial check of API endpoints identified through exposed Swagger/OpenAPI definition files.
Once you determine what endpoints require authentication and which do not, you can use the "prepare" command to generate command templates for further (manual) testing.
Example usage:
Perform a quick check of endpoints which require authentication:
$ sj automate -u https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
Generate a list of commands to use for manual testing:
$ sj prepare -u https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
Generate a list of raw API routes for use with custom scripts:
$ sj endpoints -u https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json
Perform a brute-force attack against the target to identify hidden definition files:
$ sj brute -u https://petstore.swagger.io
Usage:
sj [flags]
sj [command]
Available Commands:
automate Sends a series of automated requests to the discovered endpoints.
brute Sends a series of automated requests to discover hidden API operation definitions.
endpoints Prints a list of endpoints from the target.
help Help about any command
prepare Prepares a set of commands for manual testing of each endpoint.
Flags:
-a, --agent string Set the User-Agent string. (default "Swagger Jacker (github.com/BishopFox/sj)")
-b, --base-path string Set the API base path if not defined in the definition file (i.e. /V2/).
-f, --format string Declare the format of the definition file (json/yaml/yml/js). (default "json")
-H, --headers stringArray Add custom headers, separated by a colon ("Name: Value"). Multiple flags are accepted.
-h, --help help for sj
-i, --insecure Ignores server certificate validation.
-l, --local-file string Loads the documentation from a local file.
-o, --outfile string Output the results to a file. Only supported for the 'automate' and 'brute' commands at this time.
-p, --proxy string Proxy host and port. Example: http:https://127.0.0.1:8080 (default "NOPROXY")
-q, --quiet Do not prompt for user input - uses default values for all requests.
-r, --randomize-user-agent Randomizes the user agent string. Default is 'false'.
-s, --safe-word stringArray Avoids 'dangerous word' check for the specified word(s). Multiple flags are accepted.
-T, --target string Manually set a target for the requests to be made if separate from the host the documentation resides on.
-t, --timeout int Set the request timeout period. (default 30)
-u, --url string Loads the documentation file from a URL
-v, --version version for sj
