The IPParser Python module was created to simplify accepting IPv4 addresses, DNS names, and target / host information when creating other security or network tools. User inputs are taken and parsed to provide a list of IPv4 addresses or DNS names that can be used for iteration. If called with resolve=True
, ipparser will attempt to perform "A" record lookups and returns all IP addresses found for the host.
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,m8r0wn.com)
- CIDR Ranges /8-/32 (192.168.1.0/24)
- URL's (https://m8r0wn.com/demo)
- IP:Port (192.168.1.1:8080)
- DNS Names (m8r0wn.com)
- TXT files (Containing any of the items listed)
- Nmap XML Reports
pip3 install ipparser
OR
git clone https://github.com/m8r0wn/ipparser
cd ipparser
python3 setup.py install
The IPParser function can be called with the following arguments (shown with their default values):
resolve=False
- Resolve any DNS names identified, to IPv4 addresses, and append to output.open_ports=False
- Return IP:Port notation for all open ports found (Nmap XML only)silent=False
- Do not show errors while parsing.exit_on_error=True
- Exit on errors found while parsing user input.debug=False
- Show input classification for debugging.

from argparse import ArgumentParser
args = ArgumentParser(description='ipparser integration with argparse')
args.add_argument('-host', dest='host', default=False, type=lambda x: ipparser(x), help='Host Input')

- Allow user args to determine resolve setting:
from sys import argv
from ipparser import ipparser
from argparse import ArgumentParser
r = False
if "-r" in argv:
r = True
args = ArgumentParser(description='ipparser integration with argparse')
args.add_argument('-r', dest='resolve',action='store_true', help='Resolve input DNS hosts')
args.add_argument(dest='positional_host', nargs='+', type=lambda x: ipparser(x, resolve=r), help='Host Input')
args = args.parse_args()
- Standard Argument
from sys import argv
from ipparser import ipparser
if "-host" in argv:
host = ipparser(argv[argv.index("-host") + 1])
host = ['192.168.1.1']
- Positional Argument
from sys import argv
from ipparser import ipparser
host = ipparser(argv[-1])
host = ['192.168.1.1']
