Cybersecurity scripting today mostly relies on general-purpose languages like Python, Bash, or Go.
They work — but they come with problems:
Too many libraries
Long scripts for simple tasks
Environment setup issues
Slower execution for small utilities
So I asked a simple question:
Why isn’t there a programming language made only for cybersecurity?
That’s how Cyber+ was born.
What is Cyber+?
Cyber+ is a domain-specific programming language (DSL) built exclusively for cybersecurity tasks.
It is not a replacement for Python or Go.
It is a workflow language for security operations.
Instead of writing long scripts and importing heavy libraries, Cyber+ provides built-in security commands.
And because it’s implemented in Go, it’s fast and distributed as a single binary.
The Problem with Current Approaches
Let’s take a very common task: hashing.
Python
import hashlib
data = "password".encode()
hash_value = hashlib.sha256(data).hexdigest()
print(hash_value)
That’s fine — but this is a simple example.
Now imagine:
Encoding / decoding
Password generation
Port scanning
File integrity checks
Repetitive CTF automation
Scripts quickly become long and repetitive.
The Cyber+ Approach
In Cyber+, the same task looks like this:
Hash_Compute("password", "sha256")
That’s it.
No imports.
No setup.
No boilerplate.
Why a DSL?
Cybersecurity already uses DSLs successfully:
SQL for databases
Bash for automation
YARA for malware detection
Cyber+ follows the same idea:
One language, one domain, maximum clarity.
Each Cyber+ command directly represents a security action, not a programming construct.
Core Design Goals
Cyber+ is designed to be:
Security-first (only cybersecurity features)
Fast (Go-powered execution)
Beginner-friendly
Minimal syntax
Single binary (no runtime hell)
Who is Cyber+ For?
Cyber+ is especially useful for:
Cybersecurity students
CTF players
Security automation
Learning-focused environments
Quick scripting tasks
It’s not meant to replace full frameworks — it’s meant to remove friction.
Real Use Cases
Automating CTF challenges
Quick hashing / encoding utilities
Password and wordlist operations
Lightweight recon scripts
Teaching cybersecurity fundamentals
Why It’s Written in Go
Using Go allows Cyber+ to:
Run fast
Compile to static binaries
Avoid dependency issues
Work across platforms easily
This matters a lot in security workflows.
Open Source & Early Stage
Cyber+ is open source and still evolving.
Feedback, ideas, and contributions are welcome — especially from:
Security professionals
Students
Educators
Tool builders

Final Thoughts
Cyber+ isn’t trying to be the next Python.
It’s trying to be something simpler:
A language that lets you focus on cybersecurity, not code overhead.
If you’ve ever thought “this script shouldn’t be this long” — Cyber+ might be for you.
