Golang : Find network of an IP address
We will learn how to use Golang's net
package to find out the network behind an IP address. It is fairly trivial to do so with Go and below is the source code.
findnetwork.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"net"
"os"
)
func main() {
if len(os.Args) != 2 {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Usage: %s hostname\n", os.Args[0])
os.Exit(1)
}
hostname := os.Args[1]
IPAddr, err := net.ResolveIPAddr("ip", hostname)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error in resolving IP")
os.Exit(1)
}
addr := net.ParseIP(IPAddr.String())
if addr == nil {
fmt.Println("Invalid address")
os.Exit(1)
}
mask := addr.DefaultMask()
network := addr.Mask(mask)
fmt.Printf("Address : %s \n Network : %s \n", addr.String(), network.String())
}
Sample output :
localhost:~ admin$ ./findnetwork www.nytimes.com
Address : 170.149.172.130
Network : 170.149.0.0
localhost:~ admin$ ./findnetwork www.techcrunch.com
Address : 192.0.83.250
Network : 192.0.83.0
localhost:~ admin$ ./findnetwork www.google.com
Address : 74.125.130.104
Network : 74.0.0.0
localhost:~ admin$ ./findnetwork www.yahoo.com
Address : 106.10.139.246
Network : 106.0.0.0
