Question 1

How do I crack a Caesar cipher without knowing the shift?

Accepted Answer

Pick the Caesar cipher and paste your text — the tool runs all 26 shifts and ranks them by how closely each looks like English using letter-frequency analysis. The top result is almost always the correct plaintext.

Question 2

What's the difference between ROT13 and Caesar?

Accepted Answer

ROT13 is just Caesar with a shift of 13. Because 13 is half of 26, applying ROT13 twice gives you the original text. It's commonly used to hide spoilers, not for real security.

Question 3

Is Base64 encryption?

Accepted Answer

No. Base64 is encoding, not encryption — anyone can decode it without a key. It's used to safely represent binary data as text (in URLs, emails, JSON). Never use it to protect secrets.
