As you may have noticed, this website was created as a nod to tools4noobs.com. As a software developer, I often use this site and realized that the „Online Encrypt Tool“, despite having an up-to-date imprint, still relies on mcrypt_encrypt().
The function mcrypt_encrypt was deprecated as of PHP 7.1 and removed as of version 7.2. Since PHP 7.1 has been out of support since December 1, 2019, no more security updates are provided. This means that websites still running on PHP 7.1 are vulnerable to security flaws that are no longer being fixed, potentially posing a risk to users and their data.
Additionally, I was missing some tools and functions that I needed.
That's why, in the summer of 2024, after a brief, uninspired, and unsuccessful search for a name, I simply decided to register the domain tools4noobs.co and develop a robust, future-oriented platform.
