MapCIDR : Small Utility Program To Perform Multiple Operations For A Given sub-net/CIDR Ranges

MapCIDR is a small utility program to perform multiple operations for a given subnet/CIDR ranges.

The tool was developed to ease load distribution for mass scanning operations, it can be used both as a library and as independent CLI tool.

Features

Simple and modular code base making it easy to contribute.
CIDR distribution for distributed scanning.
Stdin and stdout support for integrating in workflows

Installation

From Source

▶ GO111MODULE=auto go get -u github.com/projectdiscovery/mapcidr/cmd/mapcidr

From Github

▶ git clone https://github.com/projectdiscovery/mapcidr.git; cd mapcidr/cmd/mapcidr; go build .; cp mapcidr /usr/local/bin

Usage

▶ mapcidr -h

This will display help for the tool. Here are all the switches it supports.

Flag	Description	Example
-cidr	Single CIDR to process	mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/24
-sbc	Slice by CIDR count	mapcidr -sbc 10
-sbh	Slice by HOST count	mapcidr -sbh 10000
-l	File containing list of CIDRs	mapcidr -l cidr.txt
-o	File to write output to (optional)	mapcidr -o output.txt
-silent	Make the output silent	mapcidr -silent
-version	Print current version of mapcidr client	mapcidr -version

Running mapCIDR

In order to get list of IPs for a give CIDR, use the following command.

▶ mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/24
▶ echo 173.0.84.0/24 | mapcidr

Slice by CIDR

In order to slice given CIDR or list of CIDR by CIDR count or slice into multiple and equal smaller subnets, use the following command.

▶ mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/24 -sbc 10 -silent
▶ echo 173.0.84.0/24 | mapcidr -sbc 10 -silent

Slice by HOST

In order to slice given CIDR for equal number of host count in each CIDR, use the following command.

▶ mapcidr -cidr 173.0.84.0/16 -sbh 20000 -silent
▶ echo 173.0.84.0/16 | mapcidr -sbh 20000 -silent

Note: it’s possible to obtain a perfect split only when the desired amount of slices or hosts per subnet is a powers of two. Otherwise the tool will attempt to automatically find the best split strategy to obtain the desired outcome.

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

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.Ips(“192.168.1.0/24”)
for _, ip := range ips {
fmt.Println(ip)
}
}
