Free tool

Email header analyzer.

Paste a raw email header. See who really sent it, what authentication says, and what looks off. Nothing leaves your browser.

Paste a header above. Nothing is sent to a server.

All calculations happen in your browser. We don’t store inputs.

How it works.

01
You enter

A pasted raw email header. In Gmail, "Show original"; in Outlook, "View source".

We compute

A client-side parser breaks out From, Reply-To, Return-Path, Subject, Message-ID, the Received chain, and Authentication-Results.

You learn

A clean view of the routing, with red flags for auth failures and mismatched fields.

02
You enter

You can also click "Load a phishy sample" to see what a suspicious header looks like.

We compute

The parser flags DKIM, SPF, DMARC failures, From and Return-Path domain mismatches, and Cyrillic-range characters used for lookalikes.

You learn

A defensible second opinion before you click a link or forward to your security team.

03
You enter

Nothing about the pasted header is sent off-page.

We compute

All parsing happens in JavaScript in your browser. No backend, no logging, no analytics on the input.

You learn

A header forensic kit you can use on a co-worker forward without leaking it to a third-party service.

What this tool isn’t.

This is a starter kit, not a full forensic suite. The parser only flags structural issues that show in the header itself: DKIM/SPF/DMARC failures, domain mismatches, basic homoglyph patterns. It cannot tell you whether a sending server is on a known-bad list, whether the From domain is freshly registered, or whether the body content is malicious. For a deeper look, pair this output with a domain-age check (whois) and a blocklist check (Spamhaus, SURBL). The tool also assumes you pasted the full raw header, not the rendered email; partial input gives partial answers.
