awsipranges

Quickly query the AWS IP Ranges

awsipranges allows you to search, filter, and use public AWS IP address ranges from the command line without writing complicated JSON parsing scripts or commands. This single-purpose CLI tool allows you to quickly answer questions like:

• Is some IPv4/IPv6 <address> a public AWS IP address?
  • What region is it in?
  • What service(s) does it belong to?
  • What supernets does it belong to?
• What are the supernets of <some-cidr-block>?
• What services publish their IP ranges in the ip-ranges.json file?
• What IP ranges are used by <some-supported-service> in <some-region>?
• What Local / Wavelength Zones are attached to <some-region>?
• What are the IP ranges for <some-local-zone>?

You could get answers to some of these ☝️ questions by filtering the JSON file, but awsipranges features make filtering more accessible. awsipranges parses and understands the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 CIDRs allowing you to work with IP ranges as they were meant to - as structured data - enabling you to output the results in human and machine friendly formats.

If you find this project useful, please consider giving it a star ⭐ on GitHub. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Features

• Retrieve & Cache: ip-ranges.json to ${HOME}/.aws/ip-ranges.json; refreshing the cache after 24 hours (by default).
• Search: IP ranges for an IPv4/IPv6 address or CIDR (any prefix length) to view the AWS IP ranges that contain the provided address or CIDR.
• Filter: IP ranges by region, service, network border group, and IP version (IPv4/IPv6).
• Multiple Output Formats: Table, CIDR, and netmask output formats for easy integration with other tools.
• Save Results to CSV: Save your search and filter results to CSV for programmatic use or analysis in your favorite spreadsheet app.
• Rust Crate: This CLI tool's core functionality is also available as a library, allowing you to easily add it to your Rust utility or application.

Acknowledgements

I appreciate the following teams and individuals without which this tool would not be possible or as quickly constructed:

• The AWS Networking team that publishes and maintains the AWS IP address ranges.
• Abhishek Chanda (@achanda) for publishing the excellent ipnetwork crate, which makes parsing and working with IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes a breeze.
• VHS - Straightforward and powerful terminal GIF recorder! I love how easy it is to make a demo tape! 😎
• Orhun Parmaksız (@orhun) for his excellent blog on Fully Automated Releases for Rust Projects.

Other Works

• netrange - Use LUA scripts to download and filter IP ranges from multiple cloud providers.
• aws-ip-ranges - Provides the AWS IP range data as a const struct.

Why did I make this?

I frequently need to get answers from the AWS IP ranges. I published a similar Python library while working at AWS. Then, when learning Rust, I needed something to build! 😎 This tool has been helpful to me - perhaps it will be useful to you.
