Non-parametric stats, physics, and header tools

Another hundred tools landed across rank-based statistics and physics-lite, Hill cipher and pangram checks, HMAC demos, punycode and hex dump, DNS SOA and CORS parsers, Excel serial dates, and ISBN/ISIN check digits. Start here when you know the job, not the route name.

The latest Toolcore batch adds another hundred browser-local pages in non-parametric statistics and physics formulas, Hill cipher and text puzzles, HMAC and checksum demos, punycode and uuencode, DNS SOA and CORS header parsers, Excel serial dates, and ISBN/ISIN check digits. Use this map when you know the job—not when you want to scroll the full catalog.

Non-parametric stats, time series, and physics-lite

Ciphers, pangrams, and text layout

HMAC demos, checksums, punycode

HTTP headers, Excel dates, identifiers

For the prior correlation and JWT batch, see the correlation and email auth guide.

Common use cases

  • Run Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon on two pasted samples before committing to a parametric test.
  • Parse DNS SOA or CORS headers from a curl trace without opening a full log analyzer.
  • Convert Excel serial 45292 to ISO date or compute ISBN-10 check characters for mock data.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating demo HMAC pages as production MAC

    HMAC demo tools illustrate digest length and hex shape—they are not audited for side-channel resistance or FIPS compliance.

  • Using moon phase or physics formulas for safety-critical work

    Projectile and moon-phase pages use simplified formulas for homework—verify against authoritative references for engineering use.

  • Expecting punycode demos to handle every IDNA edge case

    Punycode encode/decode demos cover common labels—they do not replace a full IDNA2008 conformance suite.

FAQ

How does this batch differ from the correlation batch?

That guide covered Spearman ρ, JWT decode, and SPF parse. This set adds non-parametric stats, physics formulas, Hill cipher, HMAC demos, punycode, DNS SOA, Excel serial dates, and ISIN check digits.

Are all 100 pages linked here?

No—each section points to representative tools. Browse the home catalog tabs for the full list.

Can agents prefill these tools?

Single text fields often accept q or qb. Multi-field number, date, and key+message tools open without URL prefill.
