Caesar shifts, ROT13, substitution, and the XOR idea.
Classical ciphers show that reversibility alone is not security. This browser-only workbench follows the move from letters to bits.
Explore Caesar shifts, ROT13, substitution mapping, and an isolated XOR bit visualizer with harmless sample text only.
All transformations happen locally in your browser. The lab does not transmit entered text, access external systems, attack anything, or handle credentials. Use only example text—not real secrets.
