🌐 WebSniffer Updates

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, perform domain name lookups, IP address lookups, reverse DNS lookups, and provide users information such as their IP address, user agent, and more. You can also generate secure random passwords with WebSniffer.

✨ Introducing a Reverse IP Service

WebSniffer has launched a service to perform reverse IP lookups. With a reverse IP lookup, you can find all the domain names that are hosted on a specific IP address. This is the opposite of a regular IP lookup, which determines the IP address associated with a specific domain name. Our reverse IP service is available free of charge and can be accessed at websniffer.com/reverse-ip.
