Staring at something and no idea what it is? The decision guide starts from what you can see: an unknown string, a file that will not open, a hash. It ends at the tool that handles it.
Every CTF tool in one browser page. Paste text or drop a file and ctfpal identifies the encoding, breaks the cipher, cracks the hash, carves the stego, and solves the crypto - locally, with no account and no upload.
