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 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

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 7 months ago

So add two more octets:

Moat companies will still just use something like 10.0.13.37.0.1

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

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

[-] rob64@startrek.website 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Holy hell yeah you did. How would you go about doing that in a single expression? A bunch of back references to figure out the country? What if that's not included? Oy.

[-] Patches@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You wouldn't. It's not possible. Which is what I told them.

And why would you want to? Legally if you change the given address, and it fails to get delivered - that is on you. Not them.

Some countries have addresses that are literally 'Last house on the left by the Big Tree. Bumban(Neighborhood). NN (Country)'. Any US Centric validation would fail this but I assure you - mail gets delivered just fine.

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

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 29 points 7 months ago

I knew there would be someone with the regex.

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

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 😂

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 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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.
