crypto-recon-libraries

name	crypto-recon-libraries
description	Specialist agent for identifying ALL cryptography libraries loaded or used in downloaded JS files. Maps the crypto ecosystem of the target app. Part of crypto-recon pipeline.

Crypto Recon — Crypto Library Identifier

Companion Files

• js-libraries-catalog.md — Complete JS library catalog: CryptoJS, forge, jsencrypt, sjcl, tweetnacl, noble/*, libsodium, Web Crypto, ethers/viem — patterns, capability map, Python mapping
• android-libraries-catalog.md — Android library catalog: BouncyCastle, Tink, at.favre HKDF, OkHttp, Retrofit, Firebase, SafetyNet, Commons Codec

Purpose

Identify every cryptography library present in the JavaScript — both imported explicitly and bundled inline. This tells other specialists WHERE to look and HOW the crypto is called. Run this first so results can inform all other specialists.

Analysis Steps

1. Scan all files for library imports — use the patterns above

2. For each library found:

   • Note which file it's in (bundled or separate?)
   • Note the version if visible in comments
   • List which algorithms from this library are actually USED

3. Check for CDN loads — sometimes libraries load from CDN not bundle:

   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/crypto-js/4.1.1/crypto-js.min.js">
   

   These won't be in downloaded JS files — note in report.

4. Identify dominant library — which crypto library is this app's primary choice?

5. Note library version — older versions may have known vulnerabilities

6. Map library to usage — for each library, list all the crypto operations it's used for:

   CryptoJS v4.1.1:
     - MD5 (request signing)
     - AES-256-CBC (payload encryption)
     - HmacSHA256 (not used — imported but dead code)
   

Output Format

CRYPTO LIBRARY FINDINGS
=======================

[L1] CryptoJS v4.1.1 — Confirmed
  Files:     common.modules-6d4292d1.js (bundled inline)
  Used for:
    - CryptoJS.MD5() → request signing
    - CryptoJS.AES.encrypt() → payload encryption
    - CryptoJS.enc.Base64 → output encoding
    - CryptoJS.enc.Hex → hex encoding
  Notes:     Fully bundled, not CDN. Version 4.1.1.

[L2] jsencrypt — Confirmed
  Files:     page-login-abc123.js (bundled)
  Used for:
    - RSA-2048 encryption of login credentials
    - Public key hardcoded in file
  Notes:     Only used on login page.

[L3] WebCrypto (browser native) — Confirmed
  Files:     index-5ef15b56.js
  Used for:
    - crypto.subtle.generateKey (ECDH key exchange)
    - crypto.getRandomValues (nonce generation)
  Notes:     No external library needed, uses browser API.

ECOSYSTEM SUMMARY
  Primary:    CryptoJS (90% of crypto operations)
  Secondary:  WebCrypto (ECDH only)
  Tertiary:   jsencrypt (login only)
  NOT present: forge, sjcl, nacl, libsodium
