Chepy is a Python library and CLI tool that mirrors many capabilities of CyberChef, allowing data transformations like encoding, decoding, and file format parsing through a stackable, chainable API. It is extensible via plugins and offers full CLI autocompletion.

Use cases

• decode and transform data like CyberChef but in Python
• solve CTF encoding challenges from the command line
• parse PE and ELF file formats in a script
• chain base64, base32, rot13, and hex transformations
• build reusable data transformation pipelines in Python

When to choose

• you want CyberChef-style transformations in pure Python or a CLI
• you need scriptable, automatable data transformation with plugin support
• you work in a terminal and want autocompletion for transformation recipes

When to avoid

• you prefer CyberChef's visual web interface for interactive exploration
• you need every single CyberChef recipe, as Chepy does not cover all of them
