Isn't CyberChef[0] also local and without ads, and also open source?

Just be careful if you ever need to search for the URL again in the future. Last week a colleague of mine did and the first result on DDG linked to a very sketchy, ad-filled cyberchef instance. It seems like it already got removed again though.

There's a lot of CyberChef hosted domains that aren't hosted by GCHQ. It's open source, so they're doing nothing wrong, but we can't provide assurances about the code on those sites. The official URL is https://github.com/gchq/CyberChef.

Host it yourself then you don't have to worry. I run it in a local Kube cluster and have a bookmark for it.

Awesome tool, thx for the recommendation. Also no npm and fancy build steps involved, just throwing it in the corner of a webserver :) Love it!

You don't even have to host it yourself. It runs in browser.

You can also download it and run it as a file I think.

My only complaint is that with my limited knowledge of JavaScript, the docs lack the info I need to contribute my own tools.

For example, I find myself needing a substring tool but there isn't one :(
