Is anyone here familiar with using CyberChef? I found out about it through the MoneyGame3 puzzles, and it looks very neat. But I am was having trouble with a very basic thing.
Suppose I paste a binary value such as "10001010" into the input box. I want to convert that binary value to the decimal equivalent. So I use the "To Decimal" recipe. I expect an output such as 138. Instead it treats the input as text characters and outputs the decimal values of the ASCII zero and one characters: "49 48 48 48 49 48 49 48". What am I doing wrong?
Now I finally figured it out. I need to use "From Binary" first, and then "To Decimal".
