Scan nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices, inspect their signals, and test iBeacon identities with your iPhone or iPad. Beacon Tool helps developers, technicians, and makers explore BLE devices and troubleshoot compatible Bluetooth projects. BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY SCANNER β€’ Discover nearby devices broadcasting BLE advertisements. β€’ Inspect advertised names, service information, and raw data. β€’ Search devices and filter for favorites, connectable devices, or iBeacon advertisements. β€’ Save custom names and notes to recognize devices later. LIVE SIGNAL FINDER β€’ Follow a selected device’s signal strength as you move. β€’ View RSSI history and signal trends. β€’ Use changing signal levels to help locate a nearby advertising device. iBEACON SIMULATOR AND MONITORING β€’ Create test identities with UUID, Major, and Minor values. β€’ Start and stop iBeacon advertising. β€’ Monitor selected identities and view matching beacon signals. ADVANCED TOOLS WITH BEACONTOOLS PRO β€’ Explore GATT services and characteristics on compatible, connectable devices. β€’ Read supported values, write to writable characteristics, and subscribe to notifications. β€’ Use a terminal with compatible Nordic UART peripherals. β€’ Save and manually replay reusable GATT write commands. β€’ Record scan and GATT sessions, then export CSV, JSON, or text reports. β€’ Simulate custom GATT peripherals for testing with a second device. β€’ Check expected iBeacon identities during a deployment inspection and export CSV or JSON reports. Pro unlocks advanced tools and removes ads through a one-time lifetime purchase. No subscription. SAVE AND REUSE YOUR SETUP Keep favorite devices, names, and notes organized. Optionally sync saved device names and notes through iCloud. Import and export supported beacon definitions and testing configurations. Bluetooth support depends on the peripheral and its available services. Scanning and simulation work in the foreground. Signal strength and distance readings are estimates. Explore your BLE devices and build your next Bluetooth test with Beacon Tool. β€” WHO IT'S FOR β€” β€’ iOS developers integrating Core Location / Core Bluetooth β€’ IoT and hardware engineers commissioning beacon fleets β€’ Retail, museum, and venue teams testing proximity experiences β€’ QA engineers validating BLE-based features β€’ Hobbyists exploring the world of Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon Multi-Tool is designed to feel fast, focused, and at home on iOS. No bloat, no servers, no accounts β€” just the BLE tools you actually need.

About

Kodura SSL Analyzer

Read full description

A TLS checker that tells you what is wrong, not just what is there. Point it at any host and port. It performs a real TLS handshake, reads the certificate chain the server actually sent, and turns it into plain language: what the problem is, why it matters, and what to change. SEES WHAT YOUR BROWSER HIDES Browsers and most phone tools quietly download any certificate a server forgot to include, so a misconfigured server looks perfectly healthy. This turns that repair off. If your server is missing an intermediate, you will see it here and nowhere else β€” which is why a site can work in Safari while your API client, your mobile SDK, or anything behind a strict firewall fails against it. ANSWERS IN THREE LAYERS A letter grade and one sentence you can read in a second. Then a finding for each problem β€” what was detected, the practical consequence, and the fix. Then every field of every certificate, for when you want to check the working yourself. WHAT IT CHECKS β€’ Trust chain β€” complete, incomplete, or untrusted, and exactly where it breaks β€’ Expiration β€” how long you have, and when to start worrying β€’ Hostname β€” whether the certificate really covers the name you connected to β€’ Certificate β€” signature algorithm, key size, validity dates β€’ Protocols β€” which TLS versions are enabled, including ones that should not be β€’ Cipher β€” forward secrecy and whether the negotiated suite is still sound THE CHAIN, DRAWN Every certificate the server presented, in order, leaf to root. Where a certificate is missing, the gap is drawn and labelled rather than quietly skipped. Tap any certificate for its full detail: subject, issuer, serial, both fingerprints, key, and every name it covers. BUILT FOR THE AWKWARD CASES Any port, not just 443. Self-signed certificates identified as such rather than dismissed. Deprecated TLS 1.0 and 1.1 reported against RFC 8996. Protocol probes that say "no answer" instead of claiming a version is disabled when the network simply swallowed the handshake. SHARE THE ANSWER Every scan exports as plain text β€” grade, chain, findings, impact and fix. Paste it into a ticket or send it to whoever owns the server. HISTORY Every endpoint you scan is kept, with its grade, so you can come back and see what you found. Rescan any of them in one tap. LIGHT AND DARK Both designed, not one inverted into the other. Fingerprints, serials and addresses are set in monospace so they stay readable at a glance and selectable when you need to paste one. NO ACCOUNT, NO BACKEND, NO ADS Scans run directly from your device to the host you type. Nothing is sent to Kodura. History never leaves the phone. There is no sign-up, no tracking prompt, and nothing to buy. Built by Kodura for network engineers, sysadmins and anyone who has lost an afternoon to a certificate that worked in a browser.
