The Growing Risk of Malicious Browser Extensions
Socket researchers uncover how browser extensions in trusted stores are used to hijack sessions, redirect traffic, and manipulate user behavior.
A Python package featuring multi-layered, non-linear encryption combining:
Brute-force resistant: 10+ transformation layers
Position-dependent ops: Identical chars → different outputs
Zero dependencies: Pure Python (math only)
CLI support: Encrypt/hash text or files from terminal
pip install cthulhucrypt
from cthulhucrypt import ultra_encrypt
encrypted = ultra_encrypt("hello", iterations=7)
print(encrypted) # Output: ݰFtÔÖr&¥[8ª...
cthulhucrypt --help
cthulhucrypt encrypt "hello world"
cthulhucrypt medhash "hello world"
cthulhucrypt highhash "hello world" --iterations 10
cthulhucrypt hash2 "hello world" --iterations 10
cthulhucrypt hash2-high "hello world" --iterations 10
cthulhucrypt encrypt --file input.txt --output encrypted.txt
cthulhucrypt medhash --file input.txt --output hash.txt
cthulhucrypt highhash --file input.txt --iterations 10 --output hash.txt
cthulhucrypt hash2 --file input.txt --iterations 10 --output hash.txt
cthulhucrypt hash2-high --file input.txt --iterations 10 --output hash.txt
# If you have the output in the form ENCRYPTED;TABLE_IDX
cthulhucrypt decrypt "a1b2c3d4;5" --output decrypted.txt
# Or, if you have the encrypted text and table index separately
cthulhucrypt decrypt "a1b2c3d4" 5 --output decrypted.txt
# Or, from a file
cthulhucrypt decrypt --file encrypted.txt 5 --output decrypted.txt
