All tools
Free to use, no login required. Each tool is also a JSON API. The blacklist sweep, SSL grader and monitoring suite are next on the roadmap.
IP
What's My IP
Your public IPv4/IPv6 and the request headers that matter — no third parties involved.
Command-Line IP
Your public IP as plain text — curl checkip.ipcow.com. Force IPv4/IPv6 with -4/-6, or add ?json. Built for scripts.
CIDR Calculator
Network, broadcast, mask, wildcard, host range and counts for any IPv4/IPv6 CIDR.
IP Range → CIDR
Convert an inclusive IP range into the minimal set of CIDR blocks.
IP Geolocation
Approximate location and network (ISP / ASN) for any IP — from self-hosted GeoLite2, never a third-party API.
Network
URL Shortener
Shorten a link on shortcow.com, n9a.us or n48.us — first-party, no tracking, no third-party middlemen.
Ping
ICMP round-trip time to a host, measured from our IPv4 and IPv6 probes.
Port Check
Test whether a TCP port is open and how fast it connects — over IPv4 and IPv6.
HTTP Check
Fetch a URL from our probes and report status, redirects and response time per stack.
HTTP Headers
Fetch a URL, follow the redirect chain, and inspect every response header — with the security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options…) called out.
SMTP Banner
Connect to a mail server and read its SMTP banner — mostly an IPv4 story.
SSL Certificate
Inspect a host's TLS certificate — issuer, validity dates, days to expiry, SANs and chain — over IPv4 and IPv6.
Traceroute
Trace the network path to a host hop by hop — measured from our IPv4 and IPv6 probes.
Diagnostics
Speed Test
Download, upload and latency to our IPv4 and IPv6 servers — no Flash, no ads.
WebSocket Test
Check whether your network allows WebSocket connections — some proxies and firewalls block them.
Sound Test
Play test tones to check your speakers and headphones — left, right and both channels.
Webcam Test
Preview your camera and confirm it works — nothing ever leaves your browser.
DNS
DNS Lookup
Resolve A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA or SRV records via Quad9.
Reverse DNS (PTR)
Find the PTR record(s) an IP address resolves back to.
DNSSEC Check
Is the domain DNSSEC-signed and validating? Shows the DNSKEY/DS chain and the resolver's authenticated-data flag.
DNS Propagation
Query a record across Quad9, Cloudflare, Mullvad and AdGuard and see whether they agree — handy after a DNS change.
CAA Check
See which certificate authorities are authorized to issue for a domain.
AAAA Lookup
Resolve a domain's IPv6 (AAAA) address records.
CNAME Lookup
Resolve a host's CNAME alias and the chain it points to.
NS Lookup
List the authoritative nameservers a domain is delegated to.
TXT Lookup
Fetch a domain's TXT records — SPF, verification tokens and free-form text.
SOA Lookup
Read a zone's SOA record — primary NS, contact, serial and refresh/retry/expiry timers.
SRV Lookup
Resolve an SRV service record — priority, weight, port and target host.
DS Lookup
The DS (delegation signer) records that link a zone to its parent in the DNSSEC chain.
DNSKEY Lookup
The DNSKEY records (ZSK/KSK, with key tags) a zone publishes for DNSSEC.
DNS Check
A one-shot overview of a domain's core records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA) plus its DNSSEC status.
LOC Lookup
Resolve a DNS LOC record — the latitude, longitude and altitude published for a name.
CERT Lookup
Fetch CERT records — certificates or CRLs stored in DNS (PKIX, PGP, SPKI…).
IPSECKEY Lookup
Resolve IPSECKEY records — the IPsec public key and gateway published for a host.
RRSIG Lookup
The RRSIG signatures over a name — each DNSSEC signature, its validity window and signer.
NSEC Lookup
The NSEC record — the authenticated next name and the record types that exist (DNSSEC).
NSEC3PARAM Lookup
The NSEC3PARAM record — the hash, iterations and salt for a zone’s NSEC3 chain (DNSSEC).
Blacklist Check
Sweep an IP across a curated set of major DNS blacklists (RBLs) at once — see exactly which ones list it.
MX Lookup
List a domain’s mail exchangers in preference order.
SPF Check
Parse SPF and count DNS lookups against the RFC 7208 limit of 10 — the one that catches everyone.
DMARC Check
Resolve and validate the DMARC policy at _dmarc.<domain>.
DKIM Lookup
Fetch a DKIM public key by selector and flag weak keys.
MTA-STS Check
A domain's SMTP TLS posture — the MTA-STS policy (mode, MX, max_age) and the TLS-RPT reporting record.
BIMI Lookup
Find a domain's BIMI brand-logo record and its Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).
Email Deliverability
MX, SPF, DMARC and MTA-STS in one shot — the whole inbound-email posture, with problems flagged.

Privacy
RDAP
RDAP / IP Whois
Owning org, network range and abuse contact for an IP, straight from the RIRs.
RDAP / Domain Whois
Registrar, status, nameservers, DNSSEC and expiry for a domain.
ASN Lookup
Find the autonomous system (AS number, name and BGP prefix) announcing an IP — resolved over Team Cymru DNS, no whois API.
