sysadmins.tools

117 free utilities for network, security, text, Unix, and email diagnostics work. Most run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere. A few, mostly under "Network Diagnostics" and "Email Tools," use this site's server to reach hosts you don't control directly — each of those discloses it on its own page.
