Net-Utils

This module provides network utility functions.

Usage

const net_utils = require('haraka-net-utils');

ip_to_long

// Convert IPv4 to long
const long = net_utils.ip_to_long('11.22.33.44');  // 185999660

long_to_ip

// Convert long to IPv4
const ip = net_utils.long_to_ip(185999660);  // 11.22.33.44

dec_to_hex

// Convert decimal to hex
const hex = net_utils.dec_to_hex(20111104);  // 132df00

hex_to_dec

// Convert hex to decimal
const dec = net_utils.hex_to_dec('132df00');  // 20111104

is_local_ipv4

// Is IPv4 address on a local network?
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('127.0.0.200');   // true (localhost)
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('169.254.0.0');   // true (link local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('226.0.0.1');     // false

is_private_ipv4

// Is IPv4 address in RFC 1918 reserved private address space?
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('10.0.0.0');       // true
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('192.168.0.0');    // true
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('172.16.0.0');     // true

is_local_ipv6

// Is IPv6 addr on local network?
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('::1');           // true (localhost)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fe80::')         // true (link local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fc00::')         // true (unique local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fd00::')         // true (unique local)

is_private_ip

Determines if an IPv4 or IPv6 address is on a "private" network. For IPv4, returns true if is_private_ipv4 or is_local_ipv4 are true For IPv6, returns true if is_local_ipv6 is true

is_local_host

Checks to see if a host name matches our server hostname or resolves to any local ip. Local IPs include those bound to a local network interface and public IPs discovered with STUN.

is_local_ip

Checks to see if an IP is bound locally or an IPv4 or IPv6 localhost address.

ip_in_list

// searches for 'ip' as a hash key in the list object or array
// ip can be a host, an IP, or an IPv4 or IPv6 range
net_utils.ip_in_list(object, ip);
net_utils.ip_in_list(array, ip);
net_utils.ip_in_list(tls.no_tls_hosts, '127.0.0.5');

get_ips_by_host

Returns an array of all the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the provided hostname.

try {
    const ips = await net_utils.get_ips_by_host(domain)
    for (const ip of ips) {
        // do something with the IPs
    }
}
catch (err) {
    // handle any errors
}

get_mx

try {
    const mxList = await net_utils.get_mx(domain)
    for (const mx of mxList) {
        // do something with each mx
    }
}
catch (err) {
    // handle any errors
}
