Incident Response

Email Header Analyzer

Email headers are the evidence trail behind every phishing report. Paste the raw headers and this tool reads the SPF, DKIM and DMARC verdicts, reconstructs the delivery path and highlights the sender mismatches that reveal spoofing.

Parsing happens entirely in your browser. Headers can contain personal data, so it matters that nothing you paste here is uploaded, logged or retained.

What the verdicts mean

  • SPF pass -- the sending IP is authorised to send for the envelope domain.
  • DKIM pass -- the message carries a valid cryptographic signature from the signing domain.
  • DMARC pass -- SPF or DKIM aligned with the visible From domain. This is the one that stops display-name spoofing.
  • All three can pass and the mail can still be malicious: an attacker sending from their own correctly configured domain passes authentication.
  • Read Received hops from the bottom upwards; the earliest hop is closest to the true origin, and hops below your own infrastructure can be forged.
