About

Web Toolbox

Monitor your websites and web servers with automated checks for responses and content. Configure various checks like HTTP status codes, headers, and content using CSS selectors or custom JavaScript. Includes DNS, GeoIP, and Whois tools for comprehensive web analysis.

Highlights
  • Automated HTTP status code checks
  • HTTP header content verification
  • CSS selector-based content checks
  • Custom JavaScript execution for checks
  • DNS client for server queries
  • GeoIP lookup for IP address location
  • Tabular Whois client for domain info

Web Toolbox will help you keep an eye on your sites and web servers. With a few simple steps you can set up automated checks on the responses and content of your web pages. You will be able to run them individually or in batches whenever you want directly from your iPhone and iPad without any subscription. You will be able to configure different types of automated checks: - HTTP Status Code: Indicate the expected HTTP status code, if the code obtained is different the check will fail. - HTTP Header: You will be able to indicate the name of an HTTP header whose content you want to check, you will be able to do an exact check or search for a string within the value. - Content: You will be able to search for an HTML element within the page by indicating its CSS selector and check its content. - Custom JavaScript: Finally you will be able to run a JavaScript script within the page and check its result. You will also be able to decide whether to run the checks on the simple textual response of your web page, or to render the page in a real web browser. To help you identify issues on your websites, Web Toolbox includes several tools: - DNS: A DNS client that will allow you to query DNS servers in your local or remote network with the most popular preconfigured ones (Google DNS, OpenDNS, Cloudflare) - GeoIP: This tool will allow you visually to pinpoint the geographic location of any IP address, as well as obtain other information about the address such as the ISP - Whois: A completely revised Whois client to allow you to access domain name information more easily. In addition to the classic text response, for most Whois servers, you will have access to a tabular mode that will make the domain data more readable and usable.

Q-Shield Sentinel: post-quantum readiness, honestly assessed. YOUR SCORE, 0–100 Three short question screens give you a 0–100 Quantum Resilience Score across five weighted axes: algorithm vulnerability, key-length safety, migration readiness, data exposure and compliance gap. Each result shows the algorithms most at risk, a radar chart, a prioritized roadmap to the NIST post-quantum standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA), your Q-Day estimate and harvest-now-decrypt-later (HNDL) exposure, plus the scoring-method version and the basis of its numbers (your inputs, a model estimate or a what-if scenario). Your first score needs no account: one a day per device. Until then, a result marked "Sample" shows what you will get. CHECK A DOMAIN (NEW) • On the Score tab, enter a domain you control. Q-Shield makes one TLS handshake to its port 443 and shows the protocol, cipher suite, certificate key, signature algorithm and expiry. • This is shown apart from your answers: the score from your answers, and the score with the observed input. The observed key can only lower your score or keep it the same — never raise it. • Nothing else is probed, and the certificate itself is not stored. • Sign in to use it, on any plan, including Free. Up to 10 checks a day. QUESTIONNAIRES (SENTINEL ECHO) • Paste the post-quantum questionnaire a customer sent, or import a text file. Echo sorts each question by topic, from crypto inventory to suppliers. • It drafts an answer only where your assessment or saved scans back it, citing that record, so you can check it before sending. Other questions come back blank, with the reason; pricing, contract, SLA and supplier questions are marked "only you can answer this." • Not AI: fixed rules — the same questionnaire always gives the same result. • Keys, certificates or passwords pasted by mistake are caught on your device before upload. Export the answers as a document. ADVANCED TOOLS AND SIRI (More tab) • Source freshness for NIST, the GRI threat timeline, arXiv, your domain and your last assessment. • HNDL threat map (figures: Professional and Enterprise), labelled as a model estimate, not measured traffic. • Penetration simulation (Professional and Enterprise): eight Shor attack-vector scenarios against your declared algorithms. • Siri: security health check, threat explanation, audit log — status only, never secrets. PLANS • Free: 3 assessments a month, recent history, 1 questionnaire sorted a month, and domain checks. • Professional and Enterprise add the 22-page PDF Simulation Assessment Report and higher monthly limits — Professional: 100 assessments, 20 PDF reports, 200 penetration simulations, 100 Echo drafts; Enterprise: 500, 100, 1,000 and 500. • Plans are managed by your organization's administrator. Existing subscribers keep their access and can restore it under More › Your plan. A SIMULATION, NOT A CERTIFICATION A deterministic, rule-based simulation mapped to NIST post-quantum standards — not an infrastructure audit, not a certification authority. RSA and ECDSA are not called broken today; they are exposed to data harvested now for later decryption. Q-Shield never asks for or stores your private keys, plaintext or passwords. Results are estimates, not a security certification, and do not guarantee protection against quantum attacks. Decisions based on them are your responsibility.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Q at none against Web Toolbox's shown. Web Toolbox's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
