What cipher types can this tool identify?

The tool can identify and decode 30+ cipher and encoding types including Caesar, ROT13, ROT47, Vigenere, Atbash, Base64, Base32, Morse Code, Binary, Hexadecimal, Octal, URL encoding, HTML entities, Rail Fence, Columnar Transposition, XOR, Bacon cipher, Polybius square, A1Z26, NATO phonetic alphabet, Reverse text, and various hash types (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, etc.).

How does the cipher identification work?

The tool analyzes the input text using multiple heuristics including character frequency analysis, pattern matching, character set detection, and statistical tests. It assigns confidence scores to each potential cipher type and ranks them by likelihood.

Can this tool crack Vigenere ciphers without the key?

Yes! The tool uses the Kasiski examination and Index of Coincidence methods to estimate the key length, then uses frequency analysis on each key position to determine the most likely key. It works best with longer ciphertext.

Is my data secure when using this tool?

Absolutely. All cipher identification and decoding happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. Your cipher text never leaves your device.

Can I encode messages as well as decode them?

Yes! The Encode tab lets you encode plaintext using any of the supported cipher types. You can set parameters like shift values, keys, and rail counts to create encoded messages.
