## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cryptography, parser, nlp, cli, security
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cli, cross-platform
- tags: ctf-tools, decryption, hash-cracking, encoding-decoding, cyberchef-magic, pentesting, cryptography, command-line, docker
