scantarget

Parse scan targets from strings, files, or stdin. Handles URLs, bare domains, IP addresses, and CIDR ranges. Deduplicates and normalizes.

use scantarget::Target;

let t: Target = "https://example.com".parse().unwrap();
let t: Target = "192.168.1.0/24".parse().unwrap();
let t: Target = "example.com".parse().unwrap();

From a file

use scantarget::TargetList;

let targets = TargetList::from_file("targets.txt").unwrap();
// One target per line. Empty lines and #comments are skipped.

From a string

use scantarget::parse_many;

let targets = parse_many("
    https://a.com
    https://b.com
    # this is a comment
    192.168.1.0/24
");

CIDR expansion

use scantarget::expand_cidr;

let ips = expand_cidr("10.0.0.0".parse().unwrap(), 24);
// Returns 256 IP addresses

Why not just use url::Url?

url::Url handles URLs. scantarget handles the messy reality of target lists: bare domains that need https:// prepended, IP addresses, CIDR ranges, mixed formats in one file, comment lines, deduplication. One crate, every format.
