Love how the contributors all have what seems like dedicated accounts with no 'legal name'. Take for example this: https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef/commits?author=n1474335

    n1474335

Great name. In typical GCHQ style they have good OPSEC.

You can find more contributors here:

    s2224834

Among others :)

I was hoping this might be about the Victorinox Cyber Tool, which is actually a Swiss Army Knife: https://www.victorinox.com/global/en/Products/Swiss-Army-Kni...

Because I knew it had to exist. Thanks for not letting me down, Victorinox. https://www.swissknifeshop.com/collections/usb-flash-drive-s...

I'm a big fan of CyberChef. One of its most useful features is "magic" and turning on "intensive mode". This will automatically detect the encoding used and can often detect 2-3 levels of encoding.

The author/s of Dev Utils have actually got a comparison! https://devutils.app/devutils_vs_cyberchef/

I'm so lame, I was hoping they'd have wrapped this in an Electron app for the "Download" option.
