All-in-One Scan
Runs every relevant check against one IP or hostname in a single pass: DNS, whois, ping, traceroute, a well-known-ports scan (1-1024), HTTP headers and the SSL certificate.
Enter a domain or IP address and run it to check DNS, whois, ping, traceroute, common ports, HTTP headers, and the SSL certificate all at once.
Most checks run in parallel - typically finishes in about 30 seconds, longer if the target is slow or unreachable.
The port scan step only runs once the consent checkbox above is checked - every other check runs regardless.
Ping
Send ICMP echo requests to a host to check reachability and latency.
Enter a hostname or IP address and press Ping to send ICMP echo requests and measure round-trip latency.
Traceroute
Trace the network path (hop by hop) to a destination host.
Enter a hostname or IP address and run it to see every network hop between this server and the destination, with latency per hop.
DNS Lookup (Nslookup)
Query DNS records: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, PTR, SRV, CAA.
Enter a domain, choose a record type (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, PTR, SRV, or CAA), then look it up.
Whois
Look up registration information for a domain or IP address.
Enter a domain or IP address to look up its registration details — registrar, owner organization, and important dates.

What it is
Whois queries the public registration database for a domain name or an IP address, revealing the registrar the domain was registered through, its creation, last-modified, and expiration dates, its current administrative status, and the name servers currently authoritative for the zone. For an IP address, the lookup instead reveals which organization the address block was formally allocated to.
How it works
Each TLD (.com, .fr, .org, and so on) is run by a separate registry that exposes its own queryable Whois service, and the response format can vary slightly from one registry to another. For IP addresses, it is the five regional internet registries (RIPE NCC for Europe, ARIN for North America, APNIC for Asia-Pacific, LACNIC for Latin America, AFRINIC for Africa) that each respond for their own geographic zone with the allocation information for the relevant address block.
Reading the results
The expiration date is by far the most consulted piece of information in an operational context - a domain that isn't renewed in time can cause a complete service outage, and sometimes a difficult one to fix quickly if a third party registers it in the meantime. Statuses such as clientTransferProhibited or clientDeleteLocked are perfectly normal protections deliberately set by the registrar against unauthorized transfers or deletions, and are not an anomaly to be corrected - if anything, their absence on a sensitive domain would be worth questioning. For an IP, the organization field reveals who actually operates the corresponding network, valuable for tracing a piece of traffic back to its source.
Common mistakes
A common confusion is reading the name servers (NS) shown in Whois as the domain's currently active DNS configuration, when it is really only the delegation declared at the registry level - the DNS zone actually being served by those servers can differ, and it is a direct DNS Lookup, not Whois, that gives the operational truth of the moment. Another trap: since GDPR came into force, many registrars now mask the domain holder's personal contact information by default in the public response - its absence is therefore not a sign of an anomaly or a badly registered domain, it has simply become the standard behavior.
When to use it
Proactively monitoring a client domain's expiration date, early enough to act before it lapses without a renewal already scheduled. Identifying the operator or hosting provider formally responsible for a suspicious IP address before sending them a properly documented abuse report. Verifying that a domain transfer between two registrars has actually completed successfully, by confirming the new registrar and the absence of any leftover lock status. Confirming which name servers are currently declared authoritative for a domain before starting a migration.
Blacklist Check
Check whether an IP address or domain is listed on public spam/abuse blocklists (DNSBL).
Enter an IPv4 address or domain and run it to check 7 public DNSBL/RBL blocklists at once - each shows as listed, not listed, or check failed.
TCP Port Scan
Check whether TCP ports are open on a host or IP: common ports, a custom list, or the full 1-65535 range.
Enter a host or IP, pick common ports, a custom list, or the full range, then scan to see which TCP ports respond.
A full range scan can take up to ~100 seconds. Large scans (more than 100 ports, including custom ranges/lists) are limited to 1 per minute per visitor.

HTTP Header Inspector
Fetch the HTTP response status and headers for a URL.
Enter a URL to fetch its HTTP response status code and every response header the server sends back.
SSL / TLS Certificate Checker
Inspect a host's TLS certificate: issuer, validity dates, and days remaining.
Enter a hostname to inspect its TLS certificate — issuer, validity dates, and days remaining before it expires.
Geo-IP Lookup
Look up the geographic location and network info for an IP address. Leave empty to look up your own public IP.
Enter any IP address, or leave it empty to look up your own, to see its approximate location and network/ISP info.
Subnet / CIDR Calculator
Computed entirely in your browser — no data sent to the server.
Enter an IP address and CIDR prefix (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24) to instantly compute the network range, broadcast address, and usable host count.
