Network Tools
Read full descriptionHide full description
A network engineer's toolkit that runs entirely on your iPhone. Seventeen tools, no account, no server of ours, and nothing about you collected. THE TOOLS ⢠Ping ā ICMP latency and packet loss, with a live chart ⢠Traceroute ā the hop-by-hop path, each router named ⢠LAN scan ā every device on your subnet, named and identified: routers, NAS boxes, printers, Macs, phones ⢠Port scan ā TCP connect scan with banners and service names, from a handful of ports to all 65535 ⢠DNS ā your own wire-format resolver: every record type at once, any public resolver you choose, DNS-over-HTTPS, reverse lookups, and a comparison mode that queries five resolvers and flags the one that disagrees ⢠HTTP check ā status, redirect chain, the DNS/connect/TLS/TTFB split, security headers ⢠TLS ā the full certificate chain, expiry, SANs, cipher suite, and whether the system trusts it ⢠WHOIS ā the referral chain followed to the registrar that actually holds the record ⢠Wi-Fi ā link quality graded against local thresholds, and a walking survey that compares rooms ⢠Speed test ā download, upload, latency and jitter, against Cloudflare or a URL you name ⢠iperf3 ā throughput against your own iperf3 server, up or down, multi-stream ⢠IP calculator ā CIDR maths, masks, host ranges, binary, and subnet division including VLSM ⢠MAC lookup ā 39,000 vendor prefixes, bundled and fully offline ⢠Wake on LAN ā the magic packet, sent to every address that might reach a sleeping machine ⢠Network interfaces ā addresses, subnets, flags and live throughput ⢠Telnet ā a raw TCP terminal for switches, PDUs and console servers ⢠SSH ā see below A REAL SSH CLIENT Not a wrapper. The protocol is implemented in Swift, and it does the things you actually need from a phone: ⢠Jump hosts ā reach a machine behind one bastion or several, each hop with its own account, its own credential and its own host key to confirm ⢠Port forwarding ā bind a local port to a service on the far side, then open it in a browser inside the app: a router's web interface, a database, a dashboard listening only on the server's loopback ⢠scp ā send a file up or pull one down, straight to the Files app ⢠ssh-copy-id ā put your public key in a server's authorized_keys without a second terminal ⢠Keys ā generate ed25519 on the device, or import ed25519, ECDSA and RSA in OpenSSH or PEM form, protected or not. Private keys live in the Keychain and can be exported under a passphrase when you need them elsewhere ⢠Snippets ā the commands you always type, one tap above the keyboard ⢠A proper terminal ā a real VT/xterm emulator, so vim and htop work, with esc, ctrl, alt, arrows and F-keys on a row of their own
