CyberChef VS Ciphey

I tend to use CyberChef for this sort of thing: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

I like CyberChef for having a whole bunch of such tools bundled into one page: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/

Note: It's made by the UK equivalent of the NSA

I have Cyberchef locally, just unzip it and run. It has an auto function that I only manage to get working by mistake. So as is said above just learn that instead.

Here is a diff example: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=Diff('%5C%5Cn%5C%5C...

CyberChef

Just in case you need it: https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef

Curiously, there is a similar tool made by GCHQ (UK's intelligence) https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef which I don't use neither because I don't use because of trust issues, even though it's open source

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

It can help you detect various encryption and encodings and even decrypt them. Ciphey

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:

repo: https://github.com/Ciphey/Ciphey

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.
