L33t Speak

Languages have greatly evolved throughout the years, and some new ones got created with the trend of social networks and the computer. Some are specialized in computer use and programming, while others are just other trends of expressing yourself in a chat, and L33t Speak can easily convert text to some of these languages.

You’re first taken through a setup process to ensure the functionality of the application, but it doesn’t bind itself to computer registry entries, so you can also deploy it on a thumb drive to use it on other computers. Just make sure that the target PC is fitted with .NET Framework, because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality.

The interface is pretty intuitive, even though it’s made up of classic elements. There are a couple of fields to be used for input and output, while a side panel lets you easily set up conversion details. Input is either done through the clipboard, or manually writing down the text, because there are no import options.

As the name might suggest, one of the output languages or character types is the Leet format, which is nothing more than general characters replaced by symbols or numbers. Conversion is performed after pressing the encode button, and there’s also a decode function in case you want to read from one of the supported languages.

Apart from Leet, the application also lets you convert to binary and Hex code. Saving the output is only possible by having it sent to clipboard, because it can’t be saved to file. If you only get a specific, original code for binary and Hex, you can attempt to encode in Leet multiple times, with a chance for different characters to be used in encoding.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that L33t Speak is not really a tool made to encrypt your text so nobody else can read it, but mostly a means of sending text messages in a peculiar formatting style.
