1. CyberChef: swiss-army knife conversion tool Presented By Andrew Flangas

2. Outline What is it? Where to access it? How it works? Using it to encrypt/decrypt data Generate and analyze hashes Using it as a testing tool Other functionalities

3. What is CyberChef? It is a web app used for carrying out all types of cyber operations These operations include simple encoding like Hex, Base64, or XOR, as well as more complex encryption Its main purpose is to allow both non-technical and technical analysts to manipulate data in countless ways without having to use advanced algorithms or tools.

4. Where to access it? Its free and open-sourced! You can instantly access it by going to https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/ It can also be cloned on GitHub so it can be used without connection to the internet Still in development on GitHub

5. How it Works?

6. Example https://youtu.be/eqbTQpGSR7g?t=265

7. Using it to encrypt/decrypt data Contains a large number of encryption/decryption tools Can be combined into one recipe for more complex encryptions along with descriptions of each. Some of the well known tools include AES, DES, Blowfish, Triple DES, RC2, as well as the Enigma encoder

9. Generate and analyze hashes Hash is a one-way encryption Useful for storing user passwords on web applications CyberChef offers a range of hashing algorithms to generate and analyze hashes Useful to see which ones are easier to crack(MD5)

11. Using it as a testing tool CyberChef is widely used for fields such as penetration testing and forensics Is also useful for the overall strengthening of web applications Offers a way to test which hashing algorithms or encryption methods will be useful

12. Other functionalities Public, logical, and networking operations Translate data from character encodings Run multiple operations on text input Convert between different file formats Compress and extract data Tidy up code (CSS minify, JavaScript parser, strip HTML tags)
