Security tools 45
Hashes, certificate parsers, password tools and network calculators for security work. X.509, CSR and CRL parsing, JA3 and HASSH fingerprints, CIDR maths, IOC extraction and defanging. Parsers read structure and report it; none of them verify a signature or a certificate chain.

Questions
Do the certificate parsers verify anything?
No. X.509, CSR and CRL parsing read the structure and report the fields, dates and extensions they find. No signature is checked and no chain is built. Treat the output as a readable view of the file, not as validation.
Which hash should I use?
SHA-256 for general integrity, BLAKE3 when speed matters, and Argon2 for passwords. MD5 and SHA-1 are here for matching legacy checksums and for protocol work such as JA3, not for anything an attacker might influence.
Are CRC32 and xxHash secure?
No. They are checksums for catching accidental corruption, and they are trivial to collide on purpose. Use them for storage and transport error detection. Use SHA-256 when the input might be hostile.
Can I paste a certificate or a capture from work?
Yes. Nothing is uploaded, so the material stays on your machine, which is often the reason these tools exist rather than the online alternatives. Check your own policy, but no request carries the data anywhere.
Does the password generator produce good passwords?
It uses crypto.getRandomValues, not Math.random, and the passphrase tool prints the entropy in bits for the settings you chose so you can judge the strength rather than trust an adjective.
