decrypter
Unlocks hidden messages
A decrypter is a person or tool that decodes encrypted information, converting it back to readable form.
In computing, decrypter often refers to software that reverses encryption—sometimes legitimately, sometimes to bypass copy protection or ransomware: The hacker released a free decrypter for the locked files.
Also spelled decryptor.
