Tools Lab technical content

Three focused tools for making sense of domains, networks and the web. Built on browser computation and open standards, running on bounded local infrastructure, with no paid APIs and no black-box scoring.

01 / DOMAIN OBSERVATORY

See the path from name to response.

DNS records, certificate identity, TLS negotiation, HTTP behavior and security headers in one readable diagnostic.

DNSTLSHTTPSECURITY
02 / NETWORK ARCHITECT

Design address space that fits.

CIDR calculations, binary boundaries, subnet splitting and aligned VLSM allocation, all computed privately right in your browser.

03 / SITE INTELLIGENCE

Read what a crawler sees.

Technical metadata, canonical signals, robots policy, sitemaps and structured data with evidence instead of an invented SEO score.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Useful signals. Narrow capabilities.

The Network Architect never sends input to the server. The two public inspectors validate DNS destinations, block private ranges, pin connections to validated public addresses, and limit redirects and response size. They don't retain scan history either.

These tools were designed and built by Ayron Jins. The backend is open source: ayron-tools-api on GitHub. They exist because he needed them while running his homelab and studying networking. They are free to use and require no account.
