blackarch VS Ciphey

Hi, BA repository content is mainly maintained by noptrix and me (noraj) nowadays (also other persons in the past). You can check the contributor graph. Anunna made only 3 commits and is more about community management on reddit and matrix than a package maintainer so don't fear backdoors lol

Kali Linux is fantastic but there are alternatives like Black-Arch

https://www.blackarch.org/ is the official BlackArch web site.

BlackArch - Arch GNU/Linux-based distribution for penetration testers and security researchers.

for me, arch have aur which have rich package and some package are from github. if you want to use for pentesting i think you can use blackarch, it has preinstalled tools for pentesting.

There seems to be two different existing blackarch distributions.. https://www.blackarch.org/

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.
