Network & security tools, built for engineers.
A growing set of fast, no-signup utilities for working network and security engineers — calculators, decoders, hashers, generators. Everything on this page runs in your browser. Nothing you type leaves your device.

The toolkit
Everything you need, one tab away.
Eleven tools running entirely in your browser. Cryptographic operations use the Web Crypto API; nothing is sent to a server. Pick a tool to jump straight to it.
IPv4 Subnet / CIDR
Network, broadcast, usable range, mask, wildcard, host count.
VLSM Planner
Allocate variable-length subnets from a parent prefix.
JWT Decoder
Parse JWT header and payload locally. No data leaves your browser.
Hash Generator
SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 via the Web Crypto API.
HMAC-SHA256
Keyed-hash message authentication codes, computed locally.
Base64
Encode and decode text to/from Base64.
URL Encoder
Percent-encode and decode URL components.
Password Generator
Cryptographically-secure random passwords. Configurable length and charset.
UUID v4
Generate cryptographically-random RFC 4122 UUID v4 values.
IP Converter
IPv4 between dotted-quad, decimal, hex, and binary.
Text Converter
Convert between ASCII, hex, and binary.
IPv4
Subnet / CIDR Calculator
Enter any IPv4 prefix in CIDR notation — get the network address, broadcast, usable host range, mask, wildcard mask, and host count instantly.
IPv4
VLSM Subnet Planner
Allocate variable-length subnets from a parent prefix in optimal address order. Provide a list of required host counts; the planner picks prefixes that fit and assigns them sequentially.
Identity
JWT Decoder
Paste a JSON Web Token to inspect its header and payload. Decoding happens entirely client-side — your token never leaves the browser. Signature verification requires the issuer's key and isn't performed here.
Cryptography
Hash Generator
Compute SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 over any text. Uses the browser's Web Crypto API — your input never leaves the page.
Cryptography
HMAC-SHA256 Generator
Compute a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) using SHA-256. Useful for signing webhook payloads, validating signed cookies, or testing an API integration locally.
Encoding
Base64 Encode / Decode
Quick conversion to and from Base64 for credentials, embedded images, API tokens, and anything else that needs round-trip-safe transport.
Encoding
URL Encode / Decode
Percent-encode and decode strings — the right operation for URL query parameters, path components, and form values.
Security
Password Generator
Cryptographically-secure passwords drawn from crypto.getRandomValues. Choose your length and which character classes to include.
Identifiers
UUID v4 Generator
Generate cryptographically-random version-4 UUIDs (RFC 4122). Handy for primary keys, idempotency tokens, and correlation IDs.
IPv4
IP Address Converter
Convert any IPv4 address between dotted-quad, decimal (32-bit integer), hexadecimal, and binary representations.
Encoding
Text ↔ Hex ↔ Binary
Convert strings between ASCII, hexadecimal, and binary. Useful for embedded debugging, byte-pattern analysis, and CTF-style puzzles.
Phase 2 — landing soon
Backed by our own network.
Tools that need a server vantage point — BGP visibility, traceroute, port reachability, WHOIS — are being built on an ionet-operated, Australian-hosted endpoint. Rate-limited, captcha-gated, and fair-use friendly.
Traceroute / MTR
Layer-3 path tracing with hop-by-hop loss and latency, run from our PoP and rendered as a clean visualisation.
TCP Port Reachability
Check whether a single well-known port on a target is reachable. Captcha-gated, authorisation-gated, rate-limited — not a port scanner.
DNS / DNSSEC Lookup
Authoritative DNS queries with DNSSEC validation, plus reverse DNS, NS-walk, and zone consistency checks.
WHOIS / RDAP
Domain and IP registration data via the modern RDAP protocol, with WHOIS fallback for legacy records.
ASN / Prefix Lookup
Autonomous System lookup, prefix announcements, peer relationships, and hijack alerts.
SSL / TLS Inspector
Certificate chain, expiry, key strength, supported ciphers, and HSTS / CAA / OCSP checks.
HTTP Security Headers
CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy and friends — graded the way Mozilla Observatory does it, for any URL.
