Tools for IT technicians
Practical tools, free and without sign-up, born from problems I ran into in support and administration.
DNS and email
Read a zone, follow a change, understand why an email lands in spam.
DNS Lookup
Check A, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, duplicates, DNSSEC and more; guesses DKIM selectors from your provider.
DNS Propagation
Is a DNS change visible at Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 and six other resolvers?
Email header analyzer
Delivery path, delays, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, alignment and spam signals of a message.
Websites and SEO
Audit a page or a sitemap the way a search engine would.
SEO report
Technical audit of a page: tags, headings, broken links, Open Graph, JSON-LD, robots.txt, HTTPS and security headers.
Sitemap checker
Checks a sitemap.xml: XML, indexes, gzip, 50,000 URLs, duplicates, lastmod, robots.txt and a sample of tested pages.
Calendars (ICS)
Split an export too large to import, check that a migration lost nothing.
ICS file splitter
Split a large .ics calendar by number of events, size, year or month.
ICS file comparer
Source minus destination: the events of one calendar that are missing from another.
Networking, data and security
Everyday calculations and conversions: subnets, JSON, encodings, units, passwords.
Subnet calculator (CIDR, VLSM)
Network, mask, host range, subnets and VLSM for IPv4 and IPv6.
JSON formatter and validator
Validates, indents, minifies and sorts JSON; locates each error to the line and column.
Encoder / decoder (Base64, JWT, hash…)
Base64, URL, hex, HTML, JWT, MD5/SHA, timestamps and UUIDs.
IT unit converter
Bytes, GB/GiB, Mbit/s, transfer time, hexadecimal, binary and octal.
Password generator
Random or pronounceable passwords and PIN codes, with a strength estimate.
Privacy
Nothing you type is kept. The details, tool by tool.
