CIDR / Subnet Calculator
Enter a CIDR block and get network address, broadcast, usable host range, wildcard mask, and subnet size — all computed locally.
Network engineering tools that work without a network
You need to build software. Developer utilities — offline, forever. The Network Knife delivers 6 purpose-built tools in a single HTML file.
The Network Knife packages six essential network engineering utilities into a single HTML file. Calculate subnets, plan VLSM allocations, inspect MAC addresses, convert IP addresses to binary, look up HTTP status codes, and reference well-known ports — all without an internet connection. Because the best network tools shouldn't require one.
Enter a CIDR block and get network address, broadcast, usable host range, wildcard mask, and subnet size — all computed locally.
Convert IPv4 addresses to binary with colour-coded octets. See exactly which bits belong to the network and which to the host.
Paste a MAC address and identify the vendor (OUI lookup), format it in common notations, and check if it's unicast, multicast, or locally administered.
Plan Variable Length Subnet Mask allocations from a base network. Enter subnet requirements and get an optimised, non-overlapping allocation plan with waste analysis.
