Data representation and information security are based on mathematics. In the world of technology, the most diverse types of coding and algorithms are used for data and data security. On the internet there is a very interesting platform called CyberChef. Let’s find out.
The CyberChef platform is a free and open source tool created by GCHQ (the UK intelligence service) to carry out data manipulation operations. It's a kind of "Swiss Army knife" for engineers, security analysts, programmers and IT enthusiasts.
With a very friendly and well-made interface, this platform allows you to perform various data-related operations, such as conversions, decodings and analyzes very quickly and intuitively.
Available operations include simple encoding such as of characters and much more.
Summary of the main features of the CyberChef platform:
- Encoding and Decoding
- Data conversion to different formats, such as Base64, Hexadecimal, ASCII, URL encoding, among others.
- Cryptography and Hashing
- Support for hashing algorithms (MD5, SHA-256) and encryption (AES, DES, etc.).
- Data Conversions
- Transformation between different formats, such as JSON, CSV, XML, Binary, etc.
- Compression and Decompression
- Support for formats such as GZIP, zlib and deflate.
- Text and String Manipulation
- Operations such as search, replacement, splitting text, changing letters to upper or lower case, among others.
- Data Analysis
- Tools to analyze logs, such as extracting IPs, timestamps and other patterns.
- Simple and Modular
- The interface is based on "recipes", where you simply drag and arrange modules to create personalized workflows.
- Offline and Secure
- In addition to online, it can also be used offline for greater security.
