Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Beautiful. Didn't know something like this exists. Reminds me of Katai[0]

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.

Fq: Jq for Binary Formats
Kaitai Struct might be a good choice for that: https://kaitai.io/

Ingesting, parsing and making sense of device log data
For binary log format, there's the excellent Kaitai Struct frameworks, that make it very easy to generate parsers from a declarative schema

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:

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.
