Came to say exactly the same thing. What functionalities does this library contain?

#4love this, i always use sketchy websites for simple utils like counting number of words, validating JSON etc.
though this is nothing that can't be done on the CLI (wc, jq, grep etc) - it's obviously easier through a web interface if it's only used sparingly.

#6On this note I really recommend cyberchef[1]: a large collection of open-source web based utils and converters that can be chained together.
Oh and it's maintained by the GCHQ, the agency that cracked the german enigma codes.

Just be careful if you ever need to search for the URL again in the future. Last week a colleague of mine did and the first result on DDG linked to a very sketchy, ad-filled cyberchef instance. It seems like it already got removed again though.

There's a lot of CyberChef hosted domains that aren't hosted by GCHQ. It's open source, so they're doing nothing wrong, but we can't provide assurances about the code on those sites. The official URL is https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef.
