moredecode

moredecode is a command-line utility designed for decoding various encoded data formats. It provides a straightforward way to transform commonly used encodings, such as Base64, URL encoding, and hexadecimal, back into their original string representations. The tool aims to simplify the process of inspecting or utilizing data that has been encoded for transmission or storage.

Users interact with moredecode by piping encoded data into the program or by providing the encoded string as an argument. The utility then automatically detects the encoding type and performs the necessary decoding operation. It can handle multiple encodings within a single input, sequentially decoding them until a plain text output is achieved. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with data that has undergone several layers of encoding.

The primary purpose of moredecode is to aid developers, security researchers, and system administrators in understanding and manipulating data. By offering a quick and accessible decoding solution, it reduces the need for manual decoding processes or the use of more complex programming scripts for simple transformations. Its command-line interface makes it a convenient addition to scripting workflows and automated tasks. The tool is typically available for various operating systems and can be compiled from source or installed via package managers.
