Ok. This covers every ipv6 and ipv4 address.

Please don't. Use regex to find something that looks like an IP then build a real parser. This is madness, its's extremely hard to read and a mistake is almost impossible to spot. Not to mention that it's slow.

Just parse [0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3} using regex (for v4) and then have some code check that all the octets are valid (and store the IP as a u32).

[–] Emma_Gold_Man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago (8 children)

And dupe check. 0.0.0.0 and 000.000.000.000 may both be valid, but they resolve the same

IPv6 was a mistake. We should have just added an addition octet

[–] Centillionaire@kbin.social 75 points 10 months ago (5 children)

That would allow for like, 2 trillion devices? Feels like a bandaid, my dude. Next you’re gonna suggest a giant ice cube in the ocean once a year to stop global warming.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So add two more octets:

Moat companies will still just use something like 10.0.13.37.0.1

[–] 0xD@infosec.pub 11 points 10 months ago (5 children)

IPv6 is not made with internal networks in mind lol

Oh yeah, great, let's change the fundamental protocol on which all the networks in the world are based. Now two third of the devices in the world crashed because you tried to ping 192.168.0.0.1

that WOULD be quite funny for the first second or 2....

Made that joke in an interview once.

They didn't think it was funny. They truly thought Regex was the solution to, but never the cause of, all problems.

They wanted to make a Regex to verify every single address in the world. Dodged a bullet

It's always a treat to debug a regex of that size.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 29 points 10 months ago

I knew there would be someone with the regex.

You're more of a perl programmer than network engineer :P

ipv4 [0,255].[0,255].[0,255].[0,255]

ipv6 [0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

This excludes all the ipv4 ips that have a 0 in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th octets. Sorry but we're going to have to revoke your Network Engineering credentials.

Not to nitpick, but an IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by :. Like 2001:0db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888.

This reminds me of something I saw online maybe 20 years ago now. Someone created a torrent with a name like "every IP address ever (hacking tool)" and uploaded it to Suprnova, which ended up having thousands of people seeding it. It was just a text file with every IPv4 from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 😂
