Ciphey vs CyberChef
GitHub Stats
About Ciphey
Ciphey uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically detect and decode encrypted or encoded text without knowing the cipher type. Feed it base64, Caesar cipher, Vigenere, AES, hashes, binary, hex, morse code, or dozens of other encodings and it will identify the encoding chain and decode through multiple layers automatically. Ciphey uses a combination of language detection, chi-squared analysis, and its own neural network to determine when text has been successfully decoded. It handles multi-layer encoding (e.g., base64 wrapping hex wrapping rot13) without manual intervention.
About CyberChef
CyberChef is a web application developed by GCHQ for carrying out all manner of cyber operations within a web browser. It provides over 300 operations covering encoding/decoding (Base64, URL, hex, HTML entities), encryption/decryption (AES, DES, RSA, XOR), compression (gzip, bzip2, zlib), hashing (MD5, SHA, HMAC), data format conversion (JSON, XML, CSV, YAML), networking (IP parsing, URL parsing, HTTP headers), language operations (regex, character encoding, Unicode), and analysis (entropy, frequency, magic detection). Operations are chained together in a visual 'recipe' that processes data through each step sequentially, making it easy to build complex transformation pipelines. CyberChef's 'Magic' operation automatically detects the encoding or format of input data and suggests relevant operations. It runs entirely client-side - no data leaves the browser - making it safe for processing sensitive material. CyberChef is an essential daily tool for SOC analysts, malware researchers, and CTF players.
