Encode, decode, analyse and crack ciphers without leaving the editor. Select text, send it to the bench, and start pulling it apart: built for CTFs, puzzles, teaching, and every "what is this string?" moment.
Encode & decode
Base64, hex and URL encoding, both directions, instantly.
Classical ciphers
Caesar, ROT13, Atbash, Affine, Vigenère, Beaufort, Porta, Autokey, Playfair, Rail Fence, Columnar and XOR.
Analysis
Character counts, entropy, index of coincidence, language hints and frequency views.
Cracking
Runs cracking passes against likely cipher families and surfaces the strongest readable candidates.
