What is My IP

This tool allows you to identify your public IP address as seen by the internet. This is useful for troubleshooting network connectivity, configuring firewalls, or setting up remote access.

How to use:
  1. Navigate to the What is My IP page.
  2. Your current IP (IPv4 or IPv6) will be displayed immediately.
  3. Below the IP, you will see your detected country based on our local database.

Note: If you are using a VPN or Proxy, the tool will show the IP address of the VPN/Proxy server, not your home network.

DNS Lookup

The DNS Lookup tool retrieves all public DNS records for a specific domain name. It is essential for webmasters and administrators to verify domain configurations.

How to use:
  1. Go to the DNS Lookup page.
  2. Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) in the search field.
  3. Click "Lookup DNS".
Records Explained:
  • A / AAAA: The server's physical IP addresses.
  • MX: Mail exchange records (where your email goes).
  • TXT: Text records often used for security (SPF, DKIM).
  • NS: Nameservers that manage the domain.

Unix Timestamp Converter

The Unix Timestamp tool allows you to convert between seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1, 1970) and human-readable date formats.

How to use:
  1. Navigate to the Unix Timestamp page.
  2. To convert Unix to Human: Enter the numeric timestamp in the left column. The conversion happens in real-time.
  3. To convert Human to Unix: Use the date picker in the right column to select a specific date and time.

The page also features a real-time clock showing the current global Unix epoch time.

HTTP Header Checker

The HTTP Header Checker tool allows you to inspect the metadata (headers) sent by a web server when you request a URL.

How to use:
  1. Navigate to the HTTP Headers page.
  2. Enter a full URL (including https://) into the input field.
  3. Click "Check Headers" to view the response.

This is useful for verifying security headers like Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), or checking the Cache-Control settings of a resource.

Developer APIs

We provide lightweight endpoints for automated systems and CLI users.

  • Timestamp: /time/timestamp.php - Returns a JSON object with the current Unix epoch time.
  • IP Lite: /ip_lite.php - A plain-text endpoint that returns only your IP address, ideal for curl or wget.

Privacy & Security

HBCOM Tools is built with security and privacy as a priority.

  • Data Privacy: We do not log the results of your searches or lookups. Our IP database is local, meaning your IP is checked against our own server, not a third-party API.
  • Network Security: Our tools include protections (like SSRF filtering) to prevent unauthorized access to private or internal networks.
  • Abuse Protection: All tools are rate-limited to ensure availability for all users.
