Our automated security review found no threat indicators on nqt.tools. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.

Is nqt.tools safe to use?

nqt.tools passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 80/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.

Does nqt.tools have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. nqt.tools presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 41 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the nqt.tools domain?

nqt.tools is 5 months old, registered on 1/3/2026 through Tucows Domains Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has nqt.tools been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report nqt.tools as clean.

Is nqt.tools on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. nqt.tools is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is nqt.tools hosted?

nqt.tools resolves to an IP operated by A2 Hosting, Inc. in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the nqt.tools report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 11, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around nqt.tools have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

The site hosts a web-based implementation of the Network Query Tool, an open-source PHP project with a decade-long history on GitHub. Our antivirus network flagged zero detections across 92 engines, and the hosting IP has zero abuse reports. The domain is 158 days old with valid SSL and clean browser blocklists. Web research found two positive mentions: a tech blog (stephanpringle.com) recommending it for IP lookups, and a Reddit project showcase where the apparent developer shared it without negative feedback. No scam reports, phishing complaints, or malware detections appear in any search results. The lack of business registration or contact details is typical for small open-source projects rather than a fraud indicator.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents a functional network diagnostic tool with a clean interface. It offers WHOIS lookup, DNS resolution (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, DS), reverse DNS, ping, traceroute, port scanning, RBL checks, and email validation. The meta description accurately describes the tool's purpose. No login forms, countdown timers, or push-notification spam detected.

Infrastructure

Hosting IP 190.92.151.218 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt is valid with 41 days remaining. The domain uses privacy-protected WHOIS registration through Tucows Domains Inc. One cross-domain redirect detected but no homoglyph or IDN abuse patterns.

Domain History

Registered 158 days ago. The name directly corresponds to the open-source Network Query Tool (NQT) PHP project available on GitHub for over a decade. This is not a clone of a commercial brand but rather a web-hosted version of established open-source software.

Web Reputation

Zero scam reports, zero complaints, and zero malware detections across our antivirus network and browser blocklists. Independent developers reference the tool positively for legitimate network diagnostics. A 2022 GitHub advisory noted an XSS vulnerability in older NQT versions (1.6), but no current exploits or vulnerabilities are tied to nqt.tools specifically.

Risk Factors

No business registration, legal entity information, or formal contact details found — typical for small open-source projects but limits accountability.
No dedicated contact email on the domain; contact information is minimal.
Older versions of the open-source NQT project contained an XSS vulnerability, though no current exploit is documented for this instance.

Positive Signals

Zero detections across 92 antivirus engines and clean browser blocklists.
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
Positive references from independent developers and tech blogs with no negative feedback.
Valid SSL certificate and stable 158-day domain history.
Matches a legitimate open-source project with a decade-long GitHub history.

AI Recommendation

This tool is safe to use for network diagnostics. If you need to perform WHOIS, DNS, or IP lookups, nqt.tools is a legitimate option. For sensitive network operations, verify the tool's open-source code on GitHub or self-host it if high-volume access is required.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for nqt.tools and found no scam reports, complaints, or negative reviews. The domain appears in legitimate technical contexts — referenced by independent developers for network diagnostics and shared in open-source project showcases. For a specialized utility tool with a small user base, the absence of review-site entries is expected and not a trust concern.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on nqt.tools and not a lookalike like n-qt.tools.com or an IDN homoglyph.
Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
