IP Blocklist Converter

This Python script converts IP blocklists between p2p and dat formats.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or later

Usage

To use the script, open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the script is stored. You can then run the script using the following command:

python ./bc.py --input_file <input_file_path> [--strip_ipv6]

Arguments

• --input_file <input_file_path>: The path to the input file. The script will automatically determine the file format (either p2p or dat) and convert it to the other format.
• --strip_ipv6: (Optional) Use this flag if your application cannot parse IPv6 addresses. This will remove IPv6 addresses from the output file.

Examples

Convert a p2p file to dat format:

python ./bc.py --input_file path/to/input.p2p

Convert a dat file to p2p format and strip IPv6 addresses:

python ./bc.py --input_file path/to/input.dat --strip_ipv6

Notes

• The script will handle the conversion based on the file extension of the input file.
• If --strip_ipv6 is used, IPv6 addresses will be removed from the output file to ensure compatibility with applications that do not support them.
