This includes both basic validation (C and C) and special cases like checking whether an address belongs to a specific network or whether an address is public or private (reserved). =head1 USAGE AND SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS It's important to understand that if C, C, or C return false, then all other validation functions for that IP address family will I return false. So for example, if C returns false, then C I C will both also return false. This means that simply calling C by itself is not sufficient if you are dealing with untrusted input. You should always check C as well. This applies as well when using IPv6 functions or generic functions like C. There are security implications to this around certain oddly formed addresses. Notably, an address like "010.0.0.1" is technically valid, but the operating system will treat "010" as an octal number. That means that "010.0.0.1" is equivalent to "8.0.0.1", I "10.0.0.1". However, this module's C and C functions will return false for addresses like "010.0.0.1" which have octal components. And of course that means that it also returns false for C I C. =head1 FUNCTIONS All of the functions below are exported by default. All functions return an untainted value if the test passes and undef if it fails. In theory, this means that you should always check for a defined status explicitly but in practice there are no valid IP addresses where the string form evaluates to false in Perl. Note that none of these functions actually attempt to test whether the given IP address is routable from your device; they are purely semantic checks. =head2 is_ipv4($ip), is_ipv6($ip), is_ip($ip) These functions simply check whether the address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. =head2 is_innet_ipv4($ip, $network) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the given IPv4 network. The C<$network> argument can either be a string in CIDR notation like "15.0.15.0/24" or a L object. This subroutine used to accept many more forms of network specifications (anything L accepts) but this has been deprecated. =head2 is_unroutable_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to any of several special use IPv4 networks - C<0.0.0.0/8>, C<100.64.0.0/10>, C<192.0.0.0/29>, C<198.18.0.0/15>, C<240.0.0.0/4> - as defined by L, L, and L. Arguably, these should be broken down further but this subroutine will always exist for backwards compatibility. =head2 is_private_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to any of the private IPv4 networks - C<10.0.0.0/8>, C<172.16.0.0/12>, C<192.168.0.0/16> - as defined by L. =head2 is_loopback_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 loopback network - C<127.0.0.0/8> - as defined by L. =head2 is_linklocal_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 link local network - C<169.254.0.0/16> - as defined by L. =head2 is_testnet_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to any of the IPv4 TEST-NET networks for use in documentation and example code - C<192.0.2.0/24>, C<198.51.100.0/24>, and C<203.0.113.0/24> - as defined by L. =head2 is_anycast_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the 6to4 relay anycast network - C<192.88.99.0/24> - as defined by L. =head2 is_multicast_ipv4($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 multicast network - C<224.0.0.0/4> - as defined by L. =head2 is_loopback_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address is the IPv6 loopback address - C<::1/128> - as defined by L. =head2 is_ipv4_mapped_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 IPv4-mapped address network - C<::ffff:0:0/96> - as defined by L. =head2 is_discard_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 discard prefix network - C<100::/64> - as defined by L. =head2 is_special_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 special network - C<2001::/23> - as defined by L. =head2 is_teredo_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 TEREDO network - C<2001::/32> - as defined by L. Note that this network is a subnet of the larger special network at C<2001::/23>. =head2 is_orchid_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 ORCHID network - C<2001::/32> - as defined by L. Note that this network is a subnet of the larger special network at C<2001::/23>. This network is currently scheduled to be returned to the special pool in March of 2014 unless the IETF extends its use. If that happens this subroutine will continue to exist but will always return false. =head2 is_documentation_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 documentation network - C<2001:DB8::/32> - as defined by L. =head2 is_unspecified_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 unspecified network - C<::0/128> - as defined by L.. Note that the address in this subnet is neither private nor public. =head2 is_private_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 private network - C - as defined by L. =head2 is_linklocal_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 link-local unicast network - C - as defined by L. =head2 is_multicast_ipv6($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv6 multicast network - C - as defined by L. =head2 is_public_ipv4($ip), is_public_ipv6($ip), is_public_ip($ip) These subroutines check whether the given IP address belongs to any of the special case networks defined previously. Note that this is B simply the opposite of checking C or C. The private networks are a subset of all the special case networks. =head2 is_linklocal_ip($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 or IPv6 link-local unicast network. =head2 is_loopback_ip($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address is the IPv4 or IPv6 loopback address. =head2 is_multicast_ip($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 or IPv6 multicast network. =head2 is_private_ip($ip) This subroutine checks whether the address belongs to the IPv4 or IPv6 private network. =for Pod::Coverage new =head1 OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE This module can also be used as a class. You can call C<< Data::Validate::IP->new() >> to get an object and then call any of the validation subroutines as methods on that object. This is somewhat pointless since the object will never contain any state but this interface is kept for backwards compatibility. =head1 SEE ALSO IPv4 B<[RFC 5735] [RFC 1918]> IPv6 B<[RFC 2460] [RFC 4193] [RFC 4291] [RFC 6434]> =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks to Richard Sonnen > for writing the Data::Validate module. Thanks to Matt Dainty > for adding the C and C code. =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes. Bugs may be submitted at L. =head1 SOURCE The source code repository for Data-Validate-IP can be found at L. =head1 AUTHORS =over 4 =item * Neil Neely =item * Dave Rolsky =back =head1 CONTRIBUTOR =for stopwords Gregory Oschwald Gregory Oschwald =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022 by Neil Neely.
