The certificates and http desk
toolbox.
Read a TLS certificate, look up an HTTP status code and inspect tokens, URLs and hashes.
Keep this toolbox for offline use
11 useful places to start.
Reading a certificate does not verify its signature, its chain or its revocation status, and says nothing about whether it is trusted. Everything runs in your browser.
X.509 certificate parser and decoder
Read a PEM or DER certificate on your device: subject, issuer, validity, key, extensions, fingerprints and plain factual flags. It does not check trust.
HTTP status code reference
Search every HTTP status code in the IANA registry by number, class or words: meaning, cacheability, retry advice, key headers and the RFC section.
JWT decoder
Inspect a JSON Web Token’s header and payload locally.
JWT signature verifier (HS256, RS256, ES256)
Check a JWT’s signature with an HMAC secret, JWK or PEM public key, and its exp and nbf claims at a time you choose, on your device.
URL parser
Break a URL into its scheme, host, port, path, query parameters and fragment.
robots.txt tester
Check which URLs a robots.txt allows or blocks for a crawler, with the exact rule that decided each one, following RFC 9309.
Punycode and IDN domain converter
Convert international domain names to xn-- Punycode and back, compare with the browser’s own conversion and flag lookalike letters.
SHA hash generator
Create SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 hashes of text.
HMAC generator
Compute an HMAC-SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-384 or SHA-512 message authentication code with a secret key, on your device.
UUID and ULID inspector
Decode a UUID of any version or a ULID: version, variant, embedded timestamp in UTC, clock sequence, node and every common spelling.
Cron expression explainer
Read a five-field cron schedule in plain terms and list its next run times.
A few things you
can tick off.
- Read a PEM certificate and check its dates
- Look up what a 308 or 429 response means
- Compare a certificate’s SHA-256 fingerprint
- Check the validity period of a certificate against current limits
