CyberChef from GCHQ: The Cyber Swiss Army Knife
I also discovered Ciphey. Neat little tool indeed, but it's being deprecated. It's mentioned in this issue[1] and being replaced with Ares[2]. Neither could decipher this strange encryption[3] I used it on :(

Check Ciphey, I have used several times before and overall it’s great. https://github.com/Ciphey/Ciphey
- How do you identify common encodings?
- This is from the Netflix series Dark. I hope this isnt very hard to decrypt. I would love to see this cipher get decrypted. Also a good way of suggesting to watch this.

In CTFs, you'll often get a string of text to decode. Is there a good way to recognize how to decode it?
It can help you detect various encryption and encodings and even decrypt them. Ciphey

How do I install Ciphey on Windows 10?
I followed the steps here . I am running Python 3.10 (64). When I try to install Ciphey using the instructions, on my cmd prompt I get the following:

How do I get Ciphey to use more cores for decryption?

tools for decrypting
if you're looking for something that would decrypt most well-known encodings/ciphers, there's ciphey. but no such thing exists to decrypt every known file type because, if it did, everyone would be using it.

Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.

For binary log format, there's the excellent Kaitai Struct frameworks, that make it very easy to generate parsers from a declarative schema
