A CLI tool for fetching and managing CIDR IP ranges from RIRs with firewall integration.

Project description

CIDRe is a CLI tool that fetches daily updated IP allocations from Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), compiles them into country-based CIDR files, and allows easy firewall management (e.g., blocking entire countries in UFW).

🔹 Supports AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, RIPE NCC
🔹 Merges and optimizes CIDR blocks for efficiency
🔹 Firewall integration (UFW support)
🔹 IPv4 & IPv6 compatible


⚡ Quick Start

1️⃣ Install CIDRE

pip install cidre-cli

2️⃣ Pull & Merge CIDR Ranges

cidre pull --merge
  • Downloads the latest CIDR allocations from RIRs.
  • Merges overlapping IP ranges for efficiency.

3️⃣ Block Specific Countries in UFW

cidre deny ru ir kp
  • Blocks Russia (RU), Iran (IR), and North Korea (KP) in UFW.
  • Requires UFW installed (sudo apt install ufw).

4️⃣ Allow Specific Countries in UFW

cidre allow us gb de
  • Allows United States (US), United Kingdom (GB), and Germany (DE) IPs in UFW.

5️⃣ Reject (Drop) Traffic from Specific Countries

cidre reject cn ru
  • Rejects (drops) traffic from China (CN) and Russia (RU).

🚀 Features

  • Daily automatic CIDR updates.
  • Compiles CIDR blocks per country from RIR allocation data.
  • Merges overlapping IP ranges for efficiency.
  • Allows easy firewall rules for blocking or allowing entire countries.
  • Supports both IPv4 & IPv6.

🛠️ Installation

1️⃣ Install via PyPI

pip install cidre-cli

2️⃣ Alternative: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/vulnebify/cidre-cli.git
cd cidre-cli
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
chmod +x cidre-cli.py

⚡ Usage

1️⃣ Pull and Compile CIDR Ranges

Fetches the latest IP allocation data from all RIRs and compiles per-country CIDR blocks:

cidre pull --merge
  • --merge: Merges overlapping IP ranges for efficiency.
  • --proxy <proxy>: Proxies connection to RIRs.
  • --store <path>: Specifies a custom storage directory.
  • Output Example:
    • output/cidr/ipv4/us.cidr (United States IPv4 ranges)
    • output/cidr/ipv6/de.cidr (Germany IPv6 ranges)

2️⃣ Block Entire Countries with UFW

Block specific countries' CIDR blocks in UFW firewall:

cidre deny ru ir kp
  • Blocks Russia (RU), Iran (IR), and North Korea (KP) in the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW).
  • Requires UFW installed (sudo apt install ufw on Debian/Ubuntu).

3️⃣ Allow Specific Countries

cidre allow us gb de
  • Allows United States (US), United Kingdom (GB), and Germany (DE) IPs in UFW.

4️⃣ Reject (Drop) Traffic from Specific Countries

cidre reject cn ru
  • Rejects (drops) traffic from China (CN) and Russia (RU).
