Show HN: See what's behind any website: DNS, hosting, security, tech stack
Heckzar launches a web tool that surfaces DNS records, hosting details, security headers, and tech stack for any website.
Heckzar launched publicly on August 20, 2026, posting to Hacker News as a Show HN submission by user nimsarajay, per the HN thread. The tool lets anyone look up what's running behind a given website — covering DNS records, hosting infrastructure, security configuration, and technology stack — without requiring an account or installation.
The product is available at heckzar.app and appears to be a free, browser-based inspection tool. Based on the submission, it aggregates multiple layers of website intelligence into a single lookup: domain name system records, the hosting provider and server location, security headers and certificate details, and the frontend and backend technologies a site uses.
The Show HN post received one point and no comments at time of publication, per the HN listing. No additional details about the company's founding date, team size, funding status, or pricing tiers were included in the submission.
Tools in this category — website reconnaissance and tech-stack detection — have an established market. Existing products include BuiltWith, Wappalyzer, and Shodan, each of which covers overlapping subsets of DNS, hosting, and technology fingerprinting data. Heckzar appears to position itself as a single-surface alternative that combines those functions, though the submission does not make explicit competitive claims.
No forward-looking roadmap, hiring plans, or expansion details were mentioned in the HN post. Further context on the project's scope, the team behind it, or any planned monetization would need to come from the author directly.
