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

Show HN: Txtl – Fast static website of text utilities
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...

Are you working full-time while completing this program?
It depends on your background, past coding experience, and how much stuff you have outside of work. If you are committed, then it should not be a problem. You have a while until you start, so plenty of time to start working on stuff now so classes go well. I started with python is for everyone https://www.py4e.com/ before taking my first class. Good luck! It is a fun program!

Suggested things before fall quarter ?
I took the free python course at https://www.py4e.com/ before starting at OSU and it set me up nicely for 161 and 162. I would say 225 was my greatest hurdle, as I am bad at math. If you are rusty at math in any aspect I would HIGHLY recommend starting some Khan Academy lessons in anything up through advanced algebra that is fuzzy for you. 225 is the only class so far I got an A- in and it wrecked me body and soul for a quarter :D Overall this program is what you make out of it and there's not a ton of handholding, plus there will extra work outside of it to actually do well in the real world (leetcode, interview prep, etc.), but it is a solid option to change your life (it's already changed mine) and I have enjoyed my time at OSU. Good luck!
