What is a Random IPv4 Address Generator?

Our Random IPv4 Address Generator creates a specified number of random IPv4 addresses or lists all IPs within an inetnum range if an IP is provided. Results are displayed in a textarea for easy copying. IPv4 addresses are 32-bit addresses in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. This tool is ideal for testing network applications, simulating network traffic, or conducting security assessments without using real-world IPs.

Enter an IP like 1.1.1.1 to see all IPs in its inetnum range (e.g., 1.1.0.0 - 1.1.15.255), or leave the input blank to generate random IPs.

How Does the Random IPv4 Address Generator Work?

The tool allows you to either generate random IPv4 addresses or list IPs within an inetnum range. For random generation, it uses a secure random number generator to create valid IPv4 addresses, each consisting of four octets with values from 0 to 255. If you input an IP (e.g., 1.1.1.1), it lists IPs in the corresponding inetnum range (e.g., 1.1.0.0 - 1.1.15.255), limited to your specified count (1 to 500, default 15). Results are displayed in a textarea for easy copying.

Why Use Random or Inetnum IPv4 Addresses?

• Network Testing: Simulate network traffic or test routing configurations without impacting live systems.
• Development: Use random or range-specific IPs in applications or scripts during development.
• Security Testing: Perform penetration testing or vulnerability scans in controlled environments.
• Education: Learn about IP addressing and network protocols using safe, random IPs or specific ranges.
• Privacy: Avoid using real IP addresses in demos or documentation to protect sensitive data.

Example Use Cases

Here are some scenarios where random or inetnum IPv4 addresses can be useful:

• Application Testing: Input an IP like 1.1.1.1 to list IPs in its range or generate random IPs for simulating client requests.
• Network Simulation: Generate IPs to test firewall rules or load balancers in a lab environment.
• Security Drills: Use IPs from a specific range to simulate attack vectors without risking real network exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Random IPv4 Address Generator

Are the generated IPs real?

No, the generated IPs are random and not associated with any real-world devices or networks. They are for testing and simulation purposes only.

How many IPs can I generate or list?

You can generate or list between 1 and 500 IPv4 addresses at a time, with a default of 15.

Can I generate IPv6 addresses instead?

Yes! Visit our Random IPv6 Address Generator to create or list IPv6 addresses.

Are the generated or listed IPs safe to use?

Yes, generated IPs are random and not tied to real networks, and listed IPs are from the specified inetnum range. They are safe for testing, development, or educational purposes.

Can I use the generated or listed IPs for production environments?

No, these IPs are for testing and simulation only. Using them in production could lead to unintended network issues. Always use assigned IPs for live systems.
