Ciphey is a Rust-based CLI tool and library that automatically decrypts encryptions without a known key or cipher, decodes encodings, and cracks hashes. It is the faster, rewritten successor to the original Python Ciphey, also usable as a Discord bot.

Use cases

• automatically decrypt ciphertext without knowing the cipher or key
• decode base64 and other encodings from unknown text
• crack hashes during CTF challenges
• identify what kind of encoded or encrypted string I have
• solve CTF crypto puzzles quickly
• integrate automated decoding into my own Rust project

When to choose

• you need fast automated decoding/decryption in a CTF or pentest
• you want a Rust library to build decoding tools on top of
• you need a tool that terminates with a timer instead of running forever

When to avoid

• you need the widest decoder coverage today (the original Ciphey supports ~50 decoders vs 16 here)
• you need strong modern encryption cracked with a known attack method
• you want a GUI-based tool
