A curated collection of CyberChef recipes, useful regular expressions, and links for data transformation and DFIR work. It serves as a reference guide for analysts using GCHQ's CyberChef 'Cyber Swiss-Army Knife' tool.

Use cases

• extract base64 strings from malware scripts
• decode obfuscated powershell payloads
• find regex patterns for extracting hashes and hex data
• learn cyberchef recipes for incident response
• decrypt group policy preference passwords
• convert character codes to readable text
• disassemble COM scriptlets to x86 assembly

When to choose

• you use CyberChef for malware analysis or DFIR and want proven recipes
• you need a quick reference for data extraction regexes
• you want examples of multi-stage decoding workflows

When to avoid

• you need a programmable data transformation tool rather than recipe examples
• you want maintained software with a license rather than documentation
• you need CyberChef itself rather than recipes for it
