Thinking about write one but for native. There are a lot of web based ones already.

Literally one of my favorite tools for years. The recipe idea and chaining, plus the crazy list of ingredients is super useful if anybody does CTFs.. much faster than throwing together some bits of Python
What use cases are you using it for? I haven't used it a ton, but I've found the UI to be clunkly and somewhat difficult to figure out compared to using the shell with jq
I use it for parsing/formatting out text data instead of Excel because I don't have access to a shell and my JavaScript is rusty enough that it is quicker to put regexes in CyberChef than use jsfiddle. Before I found it I was using an online regex tool for that; simple dedupe, and line counting made it worthwhile shifting.

#34I use Ciphey instead in any reverse engineering stuff, far better. https://github.com/ciphey/ciphey
Why is it far better?

#35I find CyberChef immensely when I'm doing RE work that for things that I'd otherwise have to write little snippets of code to do. I can get a lot of the simple text manipulation stuff done w/ hexdump, cut, tr, sed, etc. I find CyberChef easier to use when I'm doing operations on binary blobs. I particularly like easily doing encryption and decryption. Lately I seem to find many "secrets" (database connection strings,…
Immensely useful, I assume you mean - but you missed a word!
Useless commentary aside, could you give some examples of what you’re talking about in your second paragraph? Sounds like the sort of thing I’d enjoy reading!

Yes. GCHQ is the signals intelligence agency that grew out of the work at Bletchley Park on code breaking in WW2. So the UK's version of the NSA. https://www.gchq.gov.uk/ [1] If you click on it they will be able to track you down via your IP address and super seekret cyberspy-fu. Just kidding. .... or am I? Actually I really am. I have no way of knowing either way. Or do I? I mean, how would you know? I really don't…
GCHQ was the cover name for Bletchley Park but the organisation's name at the time was GC&CS which was established in 1919. So very old and surprisingly predates WW2
What did GC&CS stand for? (Yes I could search for this but I feel like curious conversation is almost a lost art these days.)

#37I use this a lot. Especially for base64 and urlencoding.
You might be interested in trying our Easy Data Transform software. It is general purpose data wrangling software, rather than security specific. But it can do base64 and url encoding (in the 'Decode' transform) as well as 65 other transforms (join, dedupe etc) and it can handle multi-million row datasets. Plus in my (biased) opinion, it has a much nicer UI. Not free though.

I want the opposite... enter decoded text and it shows me different ways it could be encoded/encrypted and what they look like.

FWIW there is a comparison ... https://github.com/ciphey/ciphey?tab=readme-ov-file#-ciphey-...
