IP Address Extractor

About IP Address Extractor

The IP Address Extractor is a network utility designed to parse large blocks of text and filter out IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. It is particularly useful for analyzing server logs, firewall configurations, or header data to identify connection sources.

Example

Input Text:
“User login from 192.168.0.1 success. Blocked attempt from 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334 due to multiple failures.”

Output:
192.168.0.1
2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334

How to use it

• Step 1: Paste your log file or text data into the input box.
• Step 2: Select whether you want to find IPv4, IPv6, or both.
• Step 3: Click “Extract IPs” to generate the list.
• Step 4: Copy the results for further analysis (e.g., Geo-IP lookup or blocking).

Who needs it?

This tool is essential for System Administrators troubleshooting network issues, Security Analysts investigating access logs, and Developers debugging connectivity. It automates the process of manually searching for the “dot-decimal” (IPv4) or “colon-hexadecimal” (IPv6) patterns.

Why use this tool?

Regex for IPv6 is notoriously complex to write from scratch. This tool handles the heavy lifting instantly. After extracting the IP addresses, you might want to cross-reference them with other data using the Difference Checker or organize the list with the Sort Text tool. If the logs are Base64 encoded, decode them first using Base64 Encode/Decode.
