How to Use IP Address Extractor

What is IP Address Extractor?

The IP Address Extractor uses precise regex patterns to identify and extract all IPv4 addresses (including CIDR notation like 192.168.1.0/24) and IPv6 addresses from unstructured text of any length, filtering out false positives like version numbers or dates that match the x.x.x.x pattern. Network administrators, security analysts, and DevOps engineers constantly need to pull IP addresses from firewall logs, threat reports, configuration files, and incident data — this tool does it in a single paste without any command-line grep invocations.

How do I use IP Address Extractor?

Paste any text containing IP addresses — firewall logs, Nginx or Apache access logs, threat intelligence reports, netstat output, email headers, or configuration files — into the input field. The tool extracts all unique IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, separates them by protocol version, and deduplicates the list. Use the filter toggle to include or exclude private RFC 1918 ranges, loopback addresses, and link-local addresses from the results before copying or exporting.
