Introduction

The IP Range Extractor is a Python-based tool designed to download, parse, and extract IP address ranges from RIPE's alloclist.txt file for a specified country. It generates MikroTik .rsc configuration files suitable for firewall address lists and a corresponding JSON file for further processing or integrations.

Features

• Single .rsc File: Generates a unified MikroTik .rsc file containing both IPv4 and IPv6 address lists under their respective sections.
• JSON Output: Produces a JSON file with all extracted IP entries, including details like allocation date and organization.
• Command-Line Interface: Accepts country codes as named arguments (e.g., --country=ir).
• Docker Support: Provides a Dockerfile for containerizing the application, ensuring consistent environments.
• Comprehensive Logging: Maintains detailed logs of the extraction and file generation processes for debugging and auditing.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• pip
• Docker (optional, for containerization)
