About Rabbit
Rabbit is a high-speed stream cipher introduced in 2003 and defined in RFC 4503. The cipher uses a 128-bit key and an optional 64-bit initialization vector (IV). big-endian: based on RFC4503 and RFC3447 little-endian: compatible with Crypto++
Input: text. Output: text.
Format reference: Rabbit background and specification

Before interpreting the result
Use the exact key encoding, mode, padding and IV expected by the source system. Historical ciphers are useful for learning and analysis. Encoding alone provides no confidentiality.
How to use this page
- Paste your input or open a local file.
- Adjust tool options if needed, then choose Run tool.
- Copy the result or download the original output bytes.
Inputs and results are not added to the public catalogue or saved in the URL. Processing happens in your browser; HTTP Request and DNS over HTTPS send the requests you explicitly run. Files up to 128 MiB can be opened; decompression and image tools may have smaller processing limits. Large results have a shortened preview. Text and HTML downloads use UTF-8; binary downloads preserve output bytes. Pasted text follows browser newline handling; open a file when exact input bytes matter.
