## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, parser, developer-tools
- domain: security, developer-tools, tutorials
