Ciphey

Why we included this project

Security engineers, CTF players, and pentesters who spend their days staring at opaque strings will get real use out of Ciphey. Point it at a blob of text and it figures out what encoding, cipher, or hash it's looking at, then decodes or cracks it without you having to supply the key or algorithm. It ships as both a library and a CLI, so you can fold it into your own scripts or run it interactively, and a built-in timer stops it from hanging forever on input it can't decode. The project is a Rust rewrite of the original Ciphey built for speed, with a growing set of decoders and an optional BERT-based model that improves plaintext detection. For CTF challenges, log analysis, and similar string-wrangling work, it's a solid time-saver.
