CyberChef – The Cyber Swiss Army Knife
- puyoxyz 4y agoI’ve used this a lot and it’s very helpful; way easier than looking up random converters online that may or may not be what I want, or figuring out what the terminal command for what I want is (if there is one)
- speps 4y agoActual website: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef
- tempodox 4y agoThat's the hosted web app. If you download the distribution, you can run it locally.

- imdsm 4y agoVisit https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef and try this: U U D D L R L R B A
- wh33zle 4y agoWhat do you mean by "try this"? Is "U U D D L R L R B A" some kind of shortcut combination?
- gkbrk 4y agoIt is the Konami code.
- wh33zle 4y agoHa, that is a fun Easter egg :)
- jonas-w 4y agoIt doesn't seem to work for me?
- boilerupnc 4y agoDon't use the letters, use your arrow keys to represent (U)p, (D)own, (L)eft, (R)ight and 'B' and 'A' respectively. e.g. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A Love it. Lots of websites intermittently have included it to add some fun to the site. [0].

- saagarjha 4y agoCheck the console for another one.
- dano 4y agoHa ha, great one. Thank you.
- capableweb 4y agoI'm annoyed my mouse cursor also didn't get the same effect... By the way, lots of websites use this shortcut for fun stuff (my own applications usually open the internal dev tools when you use it, at least for desktop/frontend applications), so you should randomly try it from time to time :)
- sen 4y agoOne of my most-used web-based tools. Down the bottom of the list are a lot of very useful generic file/media/string conversion tools too.
- jim_kreggis 4y agoShame it doesn't change URL for different tools, would be useful for bookmarking
- gchq-7703 4y agoIt should be set up to change the URL hash field with each different recipe you create. For instance, the URL for 'From_Base64' is: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=From_Base64('A-Za-z0-9%2B/%3D',true,false) https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=From_Base64('A-Za-z... Let us know if it's not working on your device, :)
- jim_kreggis 4y agoCheers brother
- fourfourthree 4y agoBookmarks are supported, but they work with input and recipe. I.E.: https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=To_Base64('A-Za-z0-9%2B/%3D')&input=SGVsbG8h https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=To_Base64('A-Za-z0-... A use case could be to build a recipe to encrypt a message with your public key. Post the link on your website, now anyone can click the link and encrypt a message to you.
- 8organicbits 4y agoBecareful with that approach. I saw a company that used the QR generator function to setup MFA/TOTP codes on phones. I filed a bug since they were sending the TOTP seeds to a third party. It's a little silly in this case, since cyberchef is open source and the seed shouldn't leave the browser, but it's still a third party and it's easy to generate the codes in your own page.
- zacwest 4y agoOpen the web inspector in the app and note the console log if you want to start on a very elaborate and long easter egg hunt.
- still_grokking 4y agoHow long? I've rushed through to #12 and it seems still simple. (You do always the same things up until now). But how many "challenges" are there? I don't want to spent the whole day decoding files even it seems kind of funny. Besides that, really great tool! Didn't know about it until now.
- lightspot21 4y agoHah, I've reached 12 too and I'm currently stuck there with no idea how to move forward....
- yupis 4y agoI was expecting some food ; (
