ipparser 1.0.1

Lightweight package to parse host inputs for iteration.

IPParser

The IPParser Python library was created to simplify accepting IP addresses, DNS names, and target / host information in security or network based tooling.

User inputs are parsed to provide an iterable list for further action. If called with resolve=True, ipparser will attempt to perform an "A" record lookup and return the first resolved address associated with the host.

Inputs:

IPParser currently accepts the following user inputs:

• Single IP (192.168.1.10)
• IP ranges (192.168.1.1-55)
• Multiple IP's (192.168.1.3,192.168.1.7,m8sec.dev)
• CIDR Ranges /8-/32 (192.168.1.0/24)
• URL's (https://m8sec.dev)
• IP:Port (192.168.1.1:8080)
• DNS Names (m8sec.dev)
• TXT files (Containing any of the items listed)
• Nmap XML Reports
• Read from STDIN

Install

pip3 install ipparser

OR

git clone https://github.com/m8sec/ipparser
cd ipparser
python3 setup.py install

(Primary) Usage:

The IPParser function can be called with the following arguments (shown with their default values):

• open_ports=False - Return IP:Port notation for all open ports found (Nmap XML only)
• exit_on_error=True - Exit on error while parsing user input.
• resolve=False - Resolve any DNS names identified, to IPv4 addresses, and append to output.
• ns=[] - Define name servers for DNS lookups.

Examples

Standard Usage

>>> from ipparser import ipparser
>>> ipparser('192.168.1.3-5')
['192.168.1.3', '192.168.1.4', '192.168.1.5']

>>> ipparser('yahoo.com',resolve=True)
['74.6.143.26']


>>> ipparser('192.168.1.1,yahoo.com')
['192.168.1.1', 'yahoo.com']

Argparse Integration - Required Positional Argument:

from ipparser import ipparser
from argparse import ArgumentParser

args = ArgumentParser(description='ipparser integration with argparse')
args.add_argument(dest='positional_host', nargs='+', type=lambda x: ipparser(x, resolve=False), help='Host Input')
args = args.parse_args()

Namespace(positional_host=[['192.168.1.1']])
