.ENC is a Security / keys / certs file (Email & security). Analyser identifies a .ENC file and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser. Analyser handles .ENC alongside related formats such as .KEY, .PUB, .P8 and more. In Analyser's format library, .ENC sits in the Email & security category. Analyser recognises .ENC files from their contents and reads what metadata it can - entirely on your device, with nothing uploaded.

How do I open a .ENC file?

Drop a .ENC file onto Analyser at https://lab.valjdakosta.com/ and it is identified directly in your browser - no upload, no account and no software to install. Inspect security and crypto files: PEM private/public keys (RSA/EC/Ed25519, PKCS#1 vs PKCS#8, encryption), OpenSSH .pub with SHA-256 fingerprint, PuTTY .ppk, PKCS#10 CSR, X.509 CRL, PKCS#7 bundles, OpenVPN/WireGuard configs, Java KeyStores, Apple .mobileconfig/.mobileprovision, Windows .reg (with autorun flagging), and pcap/pcapng captures - warning when a private key or secret is present.

Can I open a .ENC file online for free?

Yes. Analyser is a free online .ENC identifier that runs entirely in your browser - your .ENC file never leaves your device, so there is nothing to upload and no software to install. It even works offline once installed.
