Chepy](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/securisec/chepy/master/docs/assets/ctf.gif)\n\nChepy is a python library with a handy cli that is aimed to mirror some of the capabilities of [CyberChef](https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/). A reasonable amount of effort was put behind Chepy to make it compatible to the various functionalities that CyberChef offers, all in a pure Pythonic manner. There are some key advantages and disadvantages that Chepy has over Cyberchef. The Cyberchef concept of _stacking_ different modules is kept alive in Chepy.\n\nThere is still a long way to go for Chepy as it does not offer every single ability of Cyberchef.\n\n## Feel free to give the project a ⭐️!\n\n## Docs\n[Refer to the docs for full usage information](http://chepy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n\n## Example\n[For all usage and examples, see the docs.](http://chepy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n\nChepy has a stacking mechanism similar to Cyberchef. For example, this in Cyberchef:\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/securisec/chepy/master/docs/assets/cc_encoding.png\" width=400px\u003e\n\nThis is equivalent to \n\n```python\nfrom chepy import Chepy\n\nfile_path = \"/tmp/demo/encoding\"\n\nprint(\n    Chepy(file_path)\n    .load_file()\n    .reverse()\n    .rot_13()\n    .from_base64()\n    .from_base32()\n    .hexdump_to_str()\n    .o\n)\n\n```\n\n## Chepy vs Cyberchef\n\n#### Advantages\n- Chepy is pure python with a supporting and accessible python api\n- Chepy has a CLI\n- Chepy CLI has full autocompletion.\n- Supports pe, elf, and other various file format specific parsing.  \n- Extendable via [plugins](https://chepy-plugins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n- Infinitely scalable as it can leverage the full Python library.\n- Chepy can interface with the full Cyberchef web app to a certain degree. It is easy to move from Chepy to Cyberchef if need be. \n- The Chepy python library is significantly faster than the Cyberchef Node library.\n- Works with HTTP/S requests without CORS issues.\n- `magic` support via the Chepy ML plugin.\n\n#### Disadvantages\n- Chepy does not offer every single thing that Cyberchef does\n\n\n## Installation\nChepy can be installed in a few ways.\n\n### Pypi\n```bash\npip3 install chepy\n# optionally with extra requirements\npip3 install chepy[extras]\n```\n\n### Git\n```bash\ngit clone --recursive https://github.com/securisec/chepy.git\ncd chepy\npip3 install -e .\n# I use -e here so that if I update later with git pull, I dont have it install it again (unless dependencies have changed)\n```\n\n\u003c!-- #### [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/securisec/chepy)\n```bash\ndocker run --rm -ti -v $PWD:/data securisec/chepy \"some string\" [somefile, \"another string\"]\n``` --\u003e\n\n#### Standalone binary\nOne can build Chepy to be a standalone binary also. This includes packaging all the dependencies together.\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/securisec/chepy.git\ncd chepy\npip install .\npip install pyinstaller\npyinstaller cli.py --name chepy --onefile\n```\nThe binary will be in the dist/ folder. \n\n### Plugins\n[Check here for plugins docs](https://chepy-plugins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n\n### Used by\n[Remnux linux](https://docs.remnux.org/discover-the-tools/examine+static+properties/deobfuscation#chepy)\n\n```eval_rst\n.. toctree::\n   :maxdepth: 3\n   :caption: Contents:\n\n   usage.md\n   examples.md\n   cli.rst\n   chepy.md\n   core.md\n   modules.rst\n   extras.rst\n   plugins.md\n   pullrequest.md\n   config.md\n   faq.md\n\n\nIndices and tables\n==================\n\n* :ref:`genindex`\n* :ref:`modindex`\n* :ref:`search`\n```\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python","[](#table-of-contents) Table of contents"],"sub_categories":["[](#warc)Tools for working with WARC (WebARChive) files"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsecurisec%2Fchepy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsecurisec%2Fchepy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsecurisec%2Fchepy/lists"}
