Ok. This covers every ipv6 and ipv4 address.

"^\s*((([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){7}([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){6}(:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}|((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3})|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){5}(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,2})|:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3})|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){4}(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,3})|((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4})?:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3}))|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){3}(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,4})|((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){0,2}:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3}))|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){2}(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,5})|((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){0,3}:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3}))|:))|(([0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}:){1}(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,6})|((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){0,4}:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3}))|:))|(:(((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){1,7})|((:[0-9A-Fa-f]{1,4}){0,5}:((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])(.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])){3}))|:)))(%.+)?\s*$"
- Lord have mercy
- Please don't. Use regex to find something that looks like an IP then build a real parser. This is madness, its's extremely hard to read and a mistake is almost impossible to spot. Not to mention that it's slow.
  
  Just parse [0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3} using regex (for v4) and then have some code check that all the octets are valid (and store the IP as a u32).
  
  And dupe check. 0.0.0.0 and 000.000.000.000 may both be valid, but they resolve the same
- IPv6 was a mistake. We should have just added an addition octet
  
  That would allow for like, 2 trillion devices? Feels like a bandaid, my dude. Next you’re gonna suggest a giant ice cube in the ocean once a year to stop global warming.
  
  Oh yeah, great, let's change the fundamental protocol on which all the networks in the world are based. Now two third of the devices in the world crashed because you tried to ping 192.168.0.0.1
  
  They played us for absolute fools!
  
  IPv
  
  heared of ipv5?
  
  Plus the MAC address
- https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/perl_problems.png
  
  Made that joke in an interview once.
  
  They didn't think it was funny. They truly thought Regex was the solution to, but never the cause of, all problems.
  
  They wanted to make a Regex to verify every single address in the world. Dodged a bullet
- It's always a treat to debug a regex of that size.
- I knew there would be someone with the regex.
- You're more of a perl programmer than network engineer :P
- .*
  
  Technically, this one also matches everything:
- *exits the room*
0.0.0.0/0 0::0/0

You didn't specify it couldn't be in CIDR block notation...
- ::/0
- Remember, when we abbreviate an ipv6 address all leading zeros are reduced to a single 0.
  
  E.g
  
  0003 would just become 03
  
  When there are geoups of 4 zeros these can be represented as a single 0 or as a double colon ::
  
  But we can only use the :: once so when summarizing an address containing multiple groups of 4 0s one after the other they can all be abbreviated to a single ::
  
  Eg
  
  fe80:0000:0000:0000:0210:5aff:feaa:20a2 would become fe80::210:5aff:feaa:20a2
  
  Therefore it is perfectly valid to abbreviate an address of 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 /0 to just ::/0
  
  Eh, I've seen some software internally prefer 0::0 instead of just ::0 or :: . Notation wise though you are correct, it is unnecessary.
0.0.0.0 /0 ::/0

SUCK MY DICK, GRU!
- Haha spot on
- This is the way.
:00 - :ff

Edit: Just learnt this can be also noted as:

:: - ::f
- What about IPv4
0.0.0.0/0
- Better hope the goon hasn't heard of IPv6 either, or you're toast
  
  ::/0
- Undefined
This is gonna take a while...

0.0.0.0

0.0.0.1

0.0.0.2

0.0.0.3

...
0.0.0.0/0

::/0
- Winrar
  
  Chicken dinrar?
0.0.0.0/0
This reminds me of something I saw online maybe 20 years ago now. Someone created a torrent with a name like "every IP address ever (hacking tool)" and uploaded it to Suprnova, which ended up having thousands of people seeding it. It was just a text file with every IPv4 from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 😂
- Heard about that too! Is there an updated version for ipv6?
  
  That file would be ungodly large. There are 2^128 possible addresses, each weighing in at 128 bits, 16 bytes. 16 bytes times 340 trillion trillion trillion. That puts us around 5.44 trillion Zettabytes. The estimates I've seen for worldwide data storage sit aroun 60-70 zettabytes.
  
  IPv6 version is just a Python script that generates random 128-bit integers. Eventually you'll hit a valid IPv6 address!
ipv4 [0,255].[0,255].[0,255].[0,255]

ipv6 [0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]:[0000,ffff]
- This excludes all the ipv4 ips that have a 0 in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th octets. Sorry but we're going to have to revoke your Network Engineering credentials.
  
  thanks, fixed
- Not to nitpick, but an IPv6 address is represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by :. Like 2001:0db8:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888.
  
  Omg, that's twice now I've messed it up. Fixed.
  
  I'll leave the regex to validate an ipv6 address as an exercise to the reader.
127.0.0.1, I'm an introvert
one of them has a 7 I’m pretty sure
- wow don't doxx me plz
0.0.0.0/0
/32
- That's only 1 ip (single host)
I mean if I name them do I have to own the domain or…
1 and 0. Some assembly required.
- 32 or 128 of them, depending on protocol.
0/0
My PC's is now Bob, My router's Billy...
0.0.0.0/0

::
I'll start.

0.0.0.1: Sophie

Your turn.
- 0.0.0.2 is Bob
  
  0.0.0.3 is Clarence
ipv6
Name every protocol
- TCP
  
  UDP
  
  UDP
  
  I'd love to tell you a joke about UDP but I'll never know if you get it.
127.0.0.1
- Heh, you just doxxed yourself
127.0.0.1
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/ip-address-by-country
- USA sure does have a lot of IPs!
People name IPs outside of DNS, I mean is there like a Susan or a Karen, perhaps a Clark IP?
s.w.x.y/z

plug it into a 5-dimensional graph and there you go.
