About CyberChef
CyberChef, from GCHQ, performs hundreds of data operations like encoding, encryption, compression, hashing, and parsing by chaining recipe steps in the browser. It is free and open-source. Security analysts and developers transform data without uploading it anywhere. In practice, it is the kind of single-purpose tool people keep bookmarked for a recurring job, and users usually compare it on speed, limits, privacy handling, and whether it works without registration.
