Free tools for engineers

F12

A small toolbox, always growing

Small, honest tools for the everyday friction of infrastructure and ops work — checking an IP, working out a subnet, generating a password safely. No accounts, no upsells, no dark patterns.

Everything here runs client-side wherever that's possible, and says plainly what it does and doesn't send anywhere. If it saves one engineer five minutes at 2am, it's done its job.

Built and maintained by Denis Tolochko, an IT Systems Operations Engineer — say hello or browse the tools.

Why F12 exists

Small tools, built to actually get used.

Most engineering friction is small and repetitive: checking connectivity, working out a subnet, generating a password that's actually random. F12 is a growing set of tools for exactly that — fast, free, and built the way I'd want them built if I were the one reaching for them.
