CipherSaber2 Decrypt

Category: Ciphers

Status: Registered and callable in the CyberChef 11.3.0 compatibility inventory.

Input / output: ArrayBuffer → ArrayBuffer

Background: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/CipherSaber

What it does

CipherSaber is a simple symmetric encryption protocol based on the RC4 stream cipher. It gives reasonably strong protection of message confidentiality, yet it’s designed to be simple enough that even novice programmers can memorize the algorithm and implement it from scratch.

Note

Status here means the operation name is implemented and callable. It does not by itself promise byte-for-byte parity for every upstream option. See Compatibility and current status for the verified scope and known boundaries.

Arguments and options

Arguments are positional. Keep their order when using bake() or Pipeline.then().

Index	Name	UI type	PyChef default	Accepted values / format
`0`	Key	`toggleString`	`{'string': '', 'option': 'Hex'}`	`''`
`1`	Rounds	`number`	`20`	A Python integer or floating-point value

Recipe template

Important

This is a call template built from the documented defaults. Replace placeholder values such as empty keys, paths, patterns, or lookup data before running it.

from pychef import bake

input_value = b"example"
args = [{'string': '', 'option': 'Hex'}, 20]
result = bake(input_value, [{"op": 'CipherSaber2 Decrypt', "args": args}])
print(result)

Pipeline example

from pychef import Pipeline

args = [{'string': '', 'option': 'Hex'}, 20]
transform = Pipeline().then('CipherSaber2 Decrypt', *args)
result = transform(b"example")

Direct call

pychef.ops.run_operation runs any registered operation as a plain function, under the active ExecutionPolicy (safe defaults, no network):

from pychef.ops import run_operation

args = [{'string': '', 'option': 'Hex'}, 20]
result = run_operation('CipherSaber2 Decrypt', b"example", args=args)

Common operations also have typed helpers in Direct operations.

Low-level operation module

Warning

The module below is an internal implementation detail. It applies no execution policy, resource limits, or error sanitization; prefer bake(), Pipeline, or pychef.ops for application code.

The registered entry point lives in pychef.operations.by_operation.ciphersaber2_decrypt. Direct calls receive the input value and a positional argument tuple:

from pychef.operations.by_operation.ciphersaber2_decrypt import run

result = run(b"example", tuple([{'string': '', 'option': 'Hex'}, 20]))

pychef.operations.by_operation.ciphersaber2_decrypt.run(value, args)

Run this operation using its shared internal implementation.

Parameters:

value (str | bytes)
args (Sequence[Any])

Return type:

str | bytes
