IPclassifier

IPclassifier is a Java-based tool that allows you to analyze and classify IPv4 addresses. This project helps with validating, checking, and calculating network-related information for IP addresses, including determining IP class, subnet information, network and broadcast addresses, and the classification of private and public IP addresses.

Features

• IPv4 Address Validation: Validates if a given string is a valid IPv4 address.
• Private and Public IP Check: Identifies whether the IP address is private or public.
• IP Class Classification: Classifies the IP address into Class A, B, C, D, or E based on its first octet.
• Network and Broadcast Address Calculation: Computes the network and broadcast addresses for a given IP address and subnet prefix.
• Subnet Calculation: Calculates the number of possible subnets based on the provided IP class and subnet prefix.
• Host Calculation: Determines the number of possible hosts within the subnet.

Prerequisites

• Java: Ensure you have Java 8 or later installed on your system.

Installation

To use the IPclassifier, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/LynxAlcyoneus/IPclassifier.git
   cd IPclassifier
   

Run

• javac IP.java
• java IP

Example

Enter an IP address (or type 'exit' to quit): 192.168.1.1
Enter subnet (in prefix format): 24

Valid IPv4: 192.168.1.1
IP Class: Class C
The IP is private.
Number of possible hosts: 254
Network Address: 192.168.1.0
Broadcast Address: 192.168.1.255
Number of possible subnets: 1
