IP Analyzer

IP Analyzer is a command-line tool that provides detailed information about IP addresses and their associated network properties. It offers a user-friendly interface with a visually appealing Commodore Amiga Copper-style output.

• Analyze IP addresses with CIDR notation
• Display IP address details in both decimal and binary formats
• Show network address, netmask, and broadcast address
• Calculate usable IP range and number of hosts
• Determine if the IP address is private
• Present results in a colorful, easy-to-read format
• Support IPv4 netmask notation (e.g., /255.255.255.0)
• Offer JSON output and non-interactive --ip and --stdin modes
• Provide --compact and --no-color output modes

To build and run this project, you need:

• C++23 compatible compiler with <print> support:
  • GCC >= 14.1
  • Clang >= 18 (with libc++ >= 18)
  • MSVC 2022 (v17.7+)
• CMake 3.22 or higher

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/vschwaberow/ip-analyzer.git

2. Build using CMake:

cmake -S . -B ./build
cmake --build build --config Release

3. Run the executable:

./build/ip-analyzer

4. You can also run the tests:

./build/ip_analyzer_tests

To analyze an IP address directly, provide it as an argument:

./build/ip-analyzer 192.168.178.0/24

To run in interactive mode, use --interactive or -i:

./build/ip-analyzer --interactive

The tool will automatically detect whether it's an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

You can also pass arguments via --ip:

./build/ip-analyzer --ip 192.168.1.1/24 --json

The JSON output includes a schema identifier (ip-analyzer/1) and the app version.

You can process multiple inputs from stdin:

printf "192.168.1.1/24\n2001:db8::1/64\n" | ./build/ip-analyzer --stdin --compact

Input:

Enter an IP address with CIDR notation: 192.168.178.0/24

The IP Analyzer supports various IPv6 address formats, including:

• Full notation: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
• Compressed notation: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
• IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses: ::ffff:192.0.2.128 (outputs as ::ffff:192.0.2.128)

The program will display detailed information about the IP address.
