Email Forensics & Phishing Investigation

Email Header & Hop Trace Analyzer

Paste raw email headers from Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail to uncover originating sender server IPs, analyze relay hop delay latency, and verify SPF/DKIM authentication.

Email Header & Hop Trace Analyzer

RFC 822 / 5322

Inspect email headers, extract originating sender server IPs, analyze mail relay hop latency, and detect phishing indicators.

Originating IP Extraction

Isolates the earliest public MTA mail server IP address responsible for injecting the email into the internet.

Spoofing & Mismatch Detection

Detects discrepancy between user-facing `From:` display headers and underlying `Return-Path` envelope domains.

Hop Latency Timeline

Calculates delivery seconds between relay intermediaries to identify suspicious forwarding delays or proxy interception.
