A python package and commandline tool for generating IPv4-addresses based on a nmap-like format.

Setup

ipranger can be installed either by using pip or by pulling the source code from this repository:

# Install using pip
pip3 install ipranger

Overview

This section provides an overview of the individual ways to interact with ipranger.

Command Line

ipranger can be directly used via the commandline and as such included in bash-scripts for advanced IPv4 address format processing.

# Print IPv4 subnet
$ ipranger 192.0.0.1/29
192.0.2.1
192.0.2.2
...
192.0.2.6

# Ranges, comma separated values and IPv4 addresses
$ ipranger 192.168.2.1,2,192.168.2.3,4,5-6
192.0.2.1
192.0.2.2
...
192.0.2.6

# Exclude IPv4 addresses
$ ipranger 192.168.2.1-6 --exclude 192.168.2.2
192.0.2.1
192.0.2.3
...
192.0.2.6

Package

ipranger can be used via the custom argparse type ip_addresses_type:

import argparse
from ipranger import ip_addresses_type
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Scan IPv4 addresses')
parser.add_argument('ip_addresses', type=ip_addresses_type,
                    help="List of IPv4 addresses e.g. '192.168.0.1' '192.168.0.1,3-20', '192.168.0.1/24'")
arguments = parser.parse_args()
for ip_address in arguments.ip_addresses:
    print(ip_address)

Another way to interact with ipranger in python programs is by importing the generate method:

from ipranger import generate
for ip_address in generate(include_list=['192.168.0.1-6'], exclude_list=['192.168.0.2']):
    print(ip_address)
