Sam Spade is a free and useful network query utility.

Here are some key features of "Sam Spade":

  • Each tool displays it's output in it's own window, and everything is multi-threaded so you don't need to wait for one query to complete before starting the next one
  • Some functions are threaded still further to allow lazy reverse DNS lookups (never do a traceroute -n again)
  • The output from each query is hotlinked, so you can right click on an email address, IP address, hostname or internic tag to run another query on it
  • Appending the results of a query to the log window is a single button function
  • There's a lot of online help, in both WinHelp and HTMLHelp formats. This includes tutorials, background information and links to online resources as well as the program manual itself

    ping
    ping a network host to see if it's alive, and to see how long it takes packets to get there and back

    nslookup
    Find the IP address from a hostname, or vice-versa

    whois
    Ask a whois server who owns a domain name. Sam Spade will usually ask the right whois server automatically, or you can query a particular server. Whois queries for .com/.net/.org addresses are directed to the correct registrar automatically.

    IP block whois
    Ask a whois server who owns a block of IP addresses

    dig
    A more advanced DNS query tool. Dig asks a DNS server for all the information it has about a host

    traceroute
    Find the route packets take between you and a remote system. Both a slow, step-by-step mode and a fast parallel query mode are available.

    finger
    Lookup user information on a remote unix system

    SMTP VRFY
    Ask a mail-server whether an email address is real and whether it's being forwarded to other addresses. Also attempt partial delivery to a range of addresses to discover whether a given address is valid or not.

    web browser
    Browse the web, viewing the raw HTTP traffic rather than the rendered HTML. This lets you see the http headers and the raw HTML. Very handy for debugging CGI scripts.

    It will not send any identifying information to the webserver, and by not supporting file download, java, javascript, cookies or anything else it has far fewer security holes than real browsers. As it doesn't render the HTML it makes attempts to hide information (such as hidden form fields, white-on-white text, meta fields etc.) obvious. These make it a useful tool for investigating malign websites

    keep-alive
    Sends http packets to your ISPs webserver every minute or so, to keep a dialup link active

    DNS zone transfer
    This asks a DNS server for all the information it has about a domain. It automatically finds the authoritative servers for a domain and will query one or all of them.

    SMTP relay check
    This checks whether a mailserver is secure. It attempts to send email back to yourself via somebody elses email server (one which you're not supposed to have access to). Hopefully it'll fail, but if it doesn't the mailserver is open to all sorts of abuse and the administrator needs to secure it

    Usenet cancel check
    This asks your local news-server to look for cancelled messages in a set of groups

    website download
    This will copy a website to disk.

    website search
    This searches a website for anything matching a list of patterns

    email header analysis
    This will check the Received lines in an email header for consistency. It can help in tracking down the true source of forged email

    Blacklist lookups
    This will check the Realtime Blackhole List, Dialup User List and Relayed Spam Source List to see if any of a hosts addresses are listed

    abuse.net query
    This will identify the email address responsible for abuse issues at a given domain using the database maintained by abuse.net

    S-Lang scripting
    Many features can be configured and scripted using the embedded S-Lang scripting language.

    Time
    Query a remote host to see what time it thinks it is, via a range of protocols including SNTP. Optionally set the local systems time via SNTP at each application startup.
