NAME

       grepcidr — Filter IP addresses matching IPv4 CIDR/network specification

SYNOPSIS

       grepcidr [-V]  [-c]  [-v]  [-e pattern | -f file]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the grepcidr command.

       This  manual  page  was  written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
       manual page.

       grepcidr can be used to filter a list of IP addresses against one or more Classless Inter-Domain  Routing
       (CIDR)  specifications,  or  arbitrary  networks  specified  by an address range. As with grep, there are
       options to invert matching and load patterns from a file.  grepcidr is capable of comparing thousands  or
       even millions of IPs to networks with little memory usage and in reasonable computation time.

OPTIONS

       -V        Show software version

       -c        Display count of the matching lines, instead of showing the lines

       -v        Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching IP addresses

       -e        Specify pattern(s) on command-line

       -f        Obtain CIDR and range pattern(s) from file

EXAMPLES

       grepcidr -f ournetworks blocklist > abuse.log

       Find our customers that show up in blocklists

       grepcidr 127.0.0.0/8 iplog

       Searches for any localnet IP addresses inside the iplog file

       grepcidr "192.168.0.1-192.168.10.13" iplog

       Searches for IPs matching indicated range in the iplog file

       script | grepcidr -vf whitelist > blacklist

       Create a blacklist, with whitelisted networks removed (inverse)

       grepcidr -f list1 list2

       Cross-reference two lists, outputs IPs common to both lists
