IPConverter

IPConverter is a lightweight piece of software developed in Java, which gives you the possibility to quickly convert IP addresses between various formats, such as decimal and hexadecimal. It contains a bunch of basic options that can be easily figured out, such as AND, OR and XOR opreators, even by those less experienced with networking utilities.

Provided that you have Java Runtime Environment present on your computer, you don't need to install anything else. IPConverter is available in the form of a single executable .jar file that can be copied to the hard disk or another PC through a USB flash drive to run it effortlessly. It doesn't make modifications to the system registry or generate new files on the disk without your permission.

As far as the GUI is concerned, IPConverter opts for just one window with a dark grey background and simple look, giving you an overview of all options available. You can type or paste an IP address and view its translation in decimal and binary form, including AND, OR and XOR relationships.

There are no buttons integrated for copying the entire information to the Clipboard, printing it, or exporting it to file. On the other hand, you can select and copy any field by triggering the Ctrl+C key combination or by opening the right-click menu.

The software utility had minimal impact on the computer's performance in our tests, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. It worked smoothly, without making the operating system hang, crash or indicate errors.

Considering its simple and straightforward set of options, IPConverter can be handled by anyone interested in converting IP addresses to different standards. Too bad that it hasn't received updates for a long time.
