We cover Broadband Internet connections, network security and system performance. A large section of SG focuses on Cable Modems and DSL technology, stressing on improving TCP/IP performance over high speed/latency networks. Some of the more popular SG network tools are listed below:
SG Security Scanner - The SpeedGuide.net Security Scanner audits certain ports on your computer detecting potential vulnerabilities. A list of the currently scanned potential exploits can be found - here -.
Note: Some firewalls might log a potential attack from our server if you choose to test the security of your system since we are testing for vulnerabilities.
SG Speed Test - A bandwidth speed test, measuring both downstream/upstream line speed at the time. Average speeds per provider are also available.
SG IP Address Locator - The SG IP Address locator finds the geographical location of IP address or hostnames, and includes a number of useful network tools, like whois, traceroute, Spam source lookup, latency check, etc.
SG Network Tools - The SG Network tools section includes many common network tools such as PING, TRACEROUTE, WHOIS, etc.
SG Bits/Bytes Conversion Calculator - The Bits/Bytes calculator is a useful tool for quickly converting bits/bytes, etc. It takes into consideration the different conventons while calculating data communication rates and storage space.
SG RWIN/BDP Calculator - The RWIN/BDP calculator can be used to estimate TCP Window values, based on the Bandwidth*Delay Product (BDP for short). It can also calculate maximum bandwidth based on RWIN and latency values, and perform a number of different conversions as well.
SG DSL Speed Calculator - The SG DSL Speed Calculator allows for estimating maximum ADSL/ADSL2+/VDSL attainable sync speeds based on downstream attenuation.
SG WLAN Key Generator - The WLAN Key generator is a tool for generating random or custom WEP, as well as WPA/PSK keys. The tool helps generate strong keys that are less prone to dictionary attacks, and can be used as a learning tool as well.
SG Hash Generator - The Hash generator is a tool that helps convert your sensitive data into hashes, using various popular one-way hasing algorithms, including md4, md5, sha1, sha256, sha512, crc32, ripemd, whirlpool, haval, etc.
