An offline subnet calculator for CCNA, Network+, and anyone who works with IP networks day to day. This is the original Slash - the calculator I built for myself so I could check subnetting in seconds instead of doing the math by hand every time. Type it in or paste it from wherever you copied it; Slash works out the rest, all on-device. Features: - Type or paste a CIDR (192.168.1.0/24), a bare address, or a subnet mask - Slash fills in the rest - Network address, first and last host, broadcast, and where the next subnet starts - Paste straight from Cisco IOS, ifconfig, or ipconfig output and it pulls the address and mask out for you - Tap any value to copy it - "More details" opens the wildcard mask, usable host count, and a bit-by-bit binary view - Hand it just a mask and get the CIDR prefix, wildcard, and the hex netmask (the ifconfig / route-table style) - /31 point-to-point (RFC 3021) and /32 handled the way they actually behave - IPv6 when you need it, light or dark, Recents, optional haptics - Fully offline. No accounts, ads, tracking, or subscriptions. Free. - Shamelessly vibe coded using Fable 5; the subnet math lives in its own package and is hand-verified for accuracy About me: I'm a working network engineer and active CCNA, currently living in the beautifully warm state of Arizona. Questions, feedback, or a result you can't explain? Email me any time - I'm responsive, and my email actually works.

NetPrep turns your networking-certification prep into one daily loop: learn, drill, test, and see exactly where you stand. Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-up, nothing collected. Works fully offline. A REAL COURSE Six modules — network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation — with short lessons, inline diagrams, and a checkpoint quiz gating each module. PRACTICE THAT COUNTS A blueprint-weighted practice exam with a countdown, per-question review, and a results breakdown by domain. A subnetting drill that generates fresh questions and grades your answer alongside the worked solution. Guided tasks on a simulated router command line, with a hint ladder. LABS Scenario labs walk a packet hop by hop, or have you diagnose a broken network from its output. Topology labs give you a small network to finish addressing until the ping succeeds — with a real reachability check that names the fault when it doesn't. FLASHCARDS THAT ADAPT An FSRS spaced-repetition schedule with a daily new-card cap. Build your own cards, organize decks, or switch decks off. ONE NUMBER TO WATCH Every lesson, drill, and review feeds a per-domain mastery estimate and a single readiness score. Tap the score to see which domain is holding it back and the one thing that would move it most. Plus a daily plan that tells you what to do next, a study streak, and a Mistake Bank of every question you've missed, ready to re-drill. QUICK REFERENCE Offline tables for administrative distance, well-known ports, CIDR, and protocol timers. Study content is expanded and reviewed continuously. The app flags anything not yet verified, and you can report a suspected error straight from the review screen. NetPrep is an independent study aid and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any certification vendor.
