🌐 WebSniffer Update

In this section you will learn about the latest product updates of the WebSniffer project.

WebSniffer is an Internet intelligence platform in the making that is going to track changes on the web and provide actionable insights to its users. The platform can currently view HTTP response headers of any web page, do domain name lookups, IP address lookups and provide user’s information such as their IP address, user agent and more. You can also generate secure random passwords with WebSniffer.

✨ IP Lookup Improvements

Now all pages within the IP Address Lookup section display some additional information like e.g. if an IP address belong to a private or a reserved address block.

✨ Support of Open Graph Protocol

In the recent release WebSniffer has begun to support the Open Graph Protocol. Open Graph metadata contributes to a better discoverability of the information presented by WebSniffer. It also makes the previews of the WebSniffer pages on social media platforms, like Twitter and Facebook, more descriptive and user friendly. The feature has been introduced on some pages of the site and will be gradually rolled out to the whole site.
