Encode 3 times

python3 burl.py -p "admin/dashboard" -m encode -n 3

Decode once

python3 burl.py -p "%252Fadmin" -m decode -n 1

🧾 Help Menu

python3 burl.py -h

USAGE:  python3 burl.py -p [payload] -m [encode/decode] -n [optional] 
where:
    -p  Specifies the payload to be encoded or decoded.
    -m  Specifies the mode. Either encode or decode.
    -n  Specifies the number of times to encode or decode. Default is 1.
         But in the case of decoding, if omitted, full decode will be applied.

💡 Tip

If you omit -p or -m, the tool will prompt you interactively using pyinputplus.
