GCHQ calls it as Cyber Swiss Army Knife. It has simple interface with a drag-and-drop feature to allow both technical and non-technical people to analyze encryption, compression and decompression, and data formats.
This tool will be useful for anyone involved in data analysis, including mathematicians, analysts, software developers. GCHQ shared that tool is not 100 % ready & has invited developers to contribute as much as possible.
CyberChef is a simple, intuitive web app for carrying out all manner of "cyber" operations within a web browser. These operations include simple encoding like XOR or Base64, more complex encryption like AES, DES and Blowfish, creating binary and hexdumps, compression and decompression of data, calculating hashes and checksums, IPv6 and X.509 parsing, changing character encodings, and much more.
