Running mapCIDR

To get a list of IPs for a given CIDR, use the following command:

CIDR expansion

root@kitploit:~
mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/24
root@kitploit:~
                   ____________  ___    
  __ _  ___ ____  / ___/  _/ _ \/ _ \
 /  ' \/ _ '/ _ \/ /___/ // // / , _/   
/_/_/_/\_,_/ .__/\___/___/____/_/|_| v0.5
          /_/

173.0.84.0
173.0.84.1
173.0.84.2
173.0.84.3
173.0.84.4
173.0.84.5
173.0.84.13
173.0.84.14
173.0.84.15
173.0.84.16

It is also possible to get a list of IPs for a given IP range, using the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ echo "192.168.0.0-192.168.0.5" | mapcidr
root@kitploit:~
192.168.0.0
192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.4
192.168.0.5

CIDR Slicing by CIDR Count

To slice given CIDR or list of CIDRs by CIDR count or slice into multiple and equal smaller subnets, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/24 -sbc 10 -silent
root@kitploit:~
173.0.84.0/27
173.0.84.32/27
173.0.84.64/27
173.0.84.96/27
173.0.84.128/27
173.0.84.160/27
173.0.84.208/28
173.0.84.192/28
173.0.84.240/28
173.0.84.224/28

CIDR slicing by HOST Count

To slice the given CIDR for an equal number of hosts in each CIDR, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/16 -sbh 20000 -silent
root@kitploit:~
173.0.0.0/18
173.0.64.0/18
173.0.128.0/18
173.0.192.0/18

Note: It's possible to obtain a perfect split only when the desired number of slices or hosts per subnet is a power of two. Otherwise, the tool will attempt to automatically find the best split strategy to obtain the desired outcome.

CIDR/IP Aggregation

To merge multiple CIDR ranges into a smaller subnet block, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ mapcidr -cl cidrs.txt -aggregate

To list CIDR blocks for a given list of IPs, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ mapcidr -il ips.txt -aggregate

It's also possible to perform approximated aggregations for sparse IP groups (only version 4). The final interval will contain contiguous IPs not belonging to the input:

root@kitploit:~
$ cat ips.txt 

1.1.1.1
1.1.1.16
1.1.1.31
root@kitploit:~
$ cat ips.txt | mapcidr -aggregate-approx

1.1.1.0/27

To list CIDR blocks for a given IP Range (IPv4 | IPv6), use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
 $ mapcidr  -cl 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 -aggregate
 OR
 $ echo 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 | mapcidr -aggregate
root@kitploit:~
192.168.0.1/32
192.168.0.2/31
192.168.0.4/30
192.168.0.8/29
192.168.0.16/28
192.168.0.32/27
192.168.0.64/26
192.168.0.128/25

Match / Filter IPs from CIDR

To match IPs from the given list of CIDR ranges, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ mapcidr -cidr 192.168.1.0/24 -mi 192.168.1.253,192.168.1.252
$ mapcidr -cidr 192.168.1.0/24 -mi ip_list_to_match.txt

To filter IPs from the given list of CIDR ranges, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ mapcidr -cidr 192.168.1.224/28 -fi 192.168.1.233,192.168.1.234
$ mapcidr -cidr 192.168.1.224/28 -fi ip_list_to_filter.txt

IP Formats

To represent given IP into multiple formats, the -if 0 flag can be used to display all the supported format values, and a specific type of format can be displayed using a specific index number as listed here. Currently, 10 unique formats are supported.

root@kitploit:~
$ echo 127.0.1.0 | mapcidr -if 0 -silent

127.0.1.0
127.1
0177.0.01.0
0x7f.0x0.0x1.0x0
0x7f000100
0xabfa659dfa7f000100
281472812450048
111111111111111101111111000000000000000100000000
0x7f.0.01.0x0
::ffff:7f00:0100
%31%32%37%2E%30%2E%31%2E%30
127.000.001.000

IP Conversion

IPv4 | IPv6 addresses can be converted from either the v6 to v4 notation or IPv4-mapped notation into IPv4 addresses using -t4 and -t6 to IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.

root@kitploit:~
$ cat ips.txt 

1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
root@kitploit:~
$ mapcidr -cl ips.txt -t6

00:00:00:00:00:ffff:0101:0101
00:00:00:00:00:ffff:0202:0202

Note:

Not all IPv6 addresses can be converted to IPv4. You can only convert valid IPv4-represented IPv6 addresses.

CIDR Host Counting

To count the number of hosts for a given CIDR or list of CIDRs, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
$ echo 173.0.84.0/16 | mapcidr -count -silent

65536

ASN Input

To get the IP address of the ASN number, use the following command:

root@kitploit:~
echo AS15133 | mapcidr -silent

5.104.64.0
5.104.64.1
5.104.64.2
5.104.64.3
5.104.64.4

Use mapCIDR as a library

It's possible to use the library directly in your Go programs. The following code snippets outline how to divide a CIDR into subnets, and how to divide the same into subnets containing a certain number of hosts:

root@kitploit:~
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/projectdiscovery/mapcidr"
)

func main() {
	// Divide the CIDR into two subnets
	subnets1 := mapcidr.SplitN("192.168.1.0/24", 2)
	for _, subnet := range subnets1 {
		fmt.Println(subnet)
	}
	// Divide the CIDR into two subnets containing 128 hosts each
	subnets2 := mapcidr.SplitByNumber("192.168.1.0/24", 128)
	for _, subnet := range subnets2 {
		fmt.Println(subnet)
	}

	// List all IPs in the CIDR
	ips, _ := mapcidr.IPAddresses("192.168.1.0/24")
	for _, ip := range ips {
		fmt.Println(ip)
	}
}

mapCIDR is made with 🖤 by the projectdiscovery team.
