Output Random IP address

The script rand_ip.py allows you to output a random IP address in either IPv4 or IPv6 format. It can serve as a library to be imported as well.

Run Application

In the directory where the script is stored run:

python rand_ip.py

By default it will output an IPv4 address, and the flag -v4 will also output an IPv4 address. If you want an IPv6 address, type:

python rand_ip.py -v6

If you wish to specify multiple addresses for output, use the -n flag and pass in an integer value for the number of addresses you wish to output (default is ipv4):

python rand_ip.py -n 10
python rand_ip.py -v6 -n 10
python rand_ip.py -v4 -n 18

If running properly you should see random IP addresses returned in the format you specified.
