xips

"xips" (for eXpand IPS) is a console program that parses stdin for ip addresses and "summarized" ip addresses and outputs them individually, suitable for use with xargs. For instance:

echo 172.20.141.0/24 | xips | xargs -n 1 tcping -n 1

Alternatively, with the "-s" or "--summarize" flag, xips will take the same input and attempt to summarize those ip addressess into IP ranges, suitable for use in (for instance) Cisco ASA configuration files. By default it will make (ipv4) subnets no smaller than /24, but that is adjustable via -m.

I am using the same ip address range syntax as in ips. (which is an IP address range aware grep-like tool)

Usage:

Syntax: your_command | xips [-4] [-6] [-v]

Eats STDIN, expands IP addresses.
Options:
 -4     : expand IPv4 addresses only
 -6     : expand IPv6 addresses only
 -s     : summarize, rather than expand
 --sort : expand and sort numerically
 -m X   : summarize to a max depth of /X (also --max-depth X)
 -c     : output /cidr notation rather than subnet mask
 --asa  : output asa network-object notation
 -v     : Display version information
 --max-depth-ipv4 X : summarize to a max cidr of X for IPv4 only
 --max-depth-ipv6 X : summarize to a max cidr of X for IPv6 only

IP/Range Syntax:
 192.168.1.1
 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255
 192.168.1.1/24
 192.168.1.1/C
 '192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0'
 192.168.1.5-15

To compile: g++ -std=c++11 -o xips xips.cpp

Updates:

Update: Jan 5 2018, v0.1. Initial release.

Update: Jan 6 2018, v0.2. Fix so it compiles properly with -std=c++11. Added .exe version for windows folks (you will need the cygwin dlls).

Update: Apr 5 2018, v0.3. Oops - some of the formats were broken because I made some bad assumptions. /C, /24 and more variations of "-", "to", etc will work correctly now. Also "thru", because of John.
