Overview

The Encryption Analyzer API uses AI to identify encryption and encoding methods in data strings. It analyzes patterns to detect the likely encoding format used.

Detectable Formats

  • Base64 encoding
  • Hexadecimal encoding
  • MD5 hashes (32 hex characters)
  • SHA-1 hashes (40 hex characters)
  • SHA-256 hashes (64 hex characters)
  • ROT13 and Caesar ciphers
  • URL encoding
  • And more...

Use Cases

  • Security research and threat analysis
  • Debugging encoded values in applications
  • Digital forensics investigations
  • Identifying unknown data formats

Endpoints

POST
/v1/tools/encryption-analyzer
Analyze encrypted or encoded data to identify the method used

Request Body

Content-Type: application/json

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
data
string
Required
The encrypted or encoded data to analyze (first 500 characters are analyzed)

Response Example

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "analysis": "This appears to be Base64 encoded data. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in ASCII string format. The pattern matches standard Base64 with padding characters (=). When decoded, this would produce readable text or binary data.",
    "possibleFormats": [
      "Base64"
    ],
    "confidence": "high"
  }
}
