Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I noticed today that CyberChef is sponsored by DEF24.com.

I went to their website and saw they have a number of utilities including online password and passphrase generators which don't seem like a great idea.

It's not clear to me why Cyberchef needs a sponsor, and what the connection is between GCHQ and DEF24. It makes me more suspicious of Cyberchef.

UPDATE: Website is https://cyberchef.org, which is not the official one.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add some more information about the sponsorship somewhere, or remove it?

Additional context

I looked in the repo and couldn't find any reference to the sponsorship in the source code or issues.

The official demo site for Cyberchef can be found in the readme.

Your screenshot is from a non-affiliated site running a copy of CyberChef.

You should use the official live demo since it's kept up to date and doesn't have the same ads as the re-hosted version you've found.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice I was using the non-official one. I must have autocompleted to the wrong one somewhere along the way. I'll make sure to check in the future. Thanks!
