THE IT PEOPLE TOOLBOX
Quick checks for your connection, passwords, email security, public IP, files and networks. Some tools run entirely in your browser; where a third-party service is used, we tell you.
LIVE TOOLS
This is the first toolbox prototype. We can keep adding genuinely useful utilities over time.
Measures latency, download and upload between your browser and The IT People’s test endpoint. Server distance and browser conditions affect results, so treat this as a quick practical check rather than a laboratory benchmark.
Uses a bounded same-origin test endpoint. Test data is disposable and is not stored.
Shows the public IP address your browser is currently using.
The lookup uses api.ipify.org. Your browser contacts that service directly.
Checks whether a password appears in the Pwned Passwords corpus without sending the password itself. Your browser SHA-1 hashes it locally and sends only the first five hash characters.
Uses Have I Been Pwned’s Pwned Passwords k-anonymity range API. We do not receive or store the password.
Create a strong random password locally in your browser.
Checks public DNS for MX, SPF and DMARC. It also flags common Microsoft 365 MX patterns. DKIM requires knowing the selector, so that comes later.
Uses Google Public DNS-over-HTTPS from your browser. Only the domain name is queried.
Select a file and calculate its SHA-256 hash entirely inside your browser. The file is not uploaded.
Local Web Crypto only. The selected file never leaves your device.
Quickly calculate network address, broadcast and usable host range from an IPv4 CIDR.
A simple local heuristic that estimates entropy from password length and character variety. It is not a guarantee of safety.
NEXT TOOLS
These are the obvious next traffic magnets, but we will only turn them on when the implementation and licensing/privacy model is right.
Search an email against known breach data using a properly licensed API. We will not fake this or expose an API key in the browser.
Certificate expiry, TLS basics and common security headers with a plain-English score.
Public DNS and configuration clues for organisations preparing for or already using Microsoft 365.
Private browser-side QR generation for URLs, Wi-Fi details and plain text.
A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS and reverse lookup in one clean interface.
Safe, limited checks for common web service reachability — not an open-ended internet scanner.
