ROT13 / Caesar Cipher

Encrypt and decrypt text using the Caesar cipher with configurable shift (1-25). Includes ROT13 preset, brute-force decoder showing all 25 shifts, and letter statistics. Runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your machine.

All interactive tools run entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

How It Works

Enter text and select a shift value (1-25) to encrypt or decrypt using the Caesar cipher. Non-alphabetic characters (numbers, punctuation, spaces) are preserved unchanged. Use the brute-force feature to try all 25 possible shifts at once.

Features

  • Configurable shift: slider and preset buttons for quick selection (ROT1, ROT5, ROT13, ROT18, ROT25)
  • Encrypt and decrypt: bidirectional operation
  • Brute-force decoder: shows all 25 possible decryptions at once
  • Case preserving: maintains uppercase and lowercase
  • Non-alpha passthrough: numbers, punctuation, and symbols are unchanged
  • Statistics: input length, letters shifted, shift value
  • 5 examples: Hello World, classic pangram, military message, mixed content, full alphabet
  • Private: runs entirely in the browser — no data transmitted

Use Cases

  • Encoding simple text messages (ROT13)
  • Learning about classical cryptography
  • CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges
  • Decoding ROT13-encoded text from forums and Usenet
  • Brute-forcing unknown Caesar cipher shifts
