--cidr - Argument

  • Long: --cidr

Description​

Configures an IP range in CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) format to restrict the scope of IP generation oprations. This allows focusing on specific networks or segments.

What is CIDR?

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. It replaces the older system based on classes A, B, and C. CIDR notation is a compact representation of an IP address and its associated network mask. It consists of an IP address, followed by a slash (/), and then a number that indicates the length of the network prefix in bits. For example, 192.168.1.0/24 covers all IP addresses from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255.

Usage​

./ServerRawler <Command> --cidr <IP_RANGE>
  • <Command>: Any command that uses IP generation
  • <IP_RANGE>: The IP range in CIDR format (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24, 10.0.0.0/8).

Examples​

To generate random IPs exclusively within the 1.1.1.0/16 range:

./ServerRawler generate cloudflare_network.txt 1000 --cidr 1.1.1.0/16

To start a crawling loop that only targets servers within the 8.8.8.0/29 range:

./ServerRawler crawl --cidr 8.8.8.0/29
