Is there any way to get Network Address with subnet mask with python?

I am trying to scan my local area network information with python. Is there any way to get Network Address with subnet mask information to python?

I want to get the Network Address (local network) and subnet mask information in the variables But when I searched on google, seems like there is no relevant information Thank you!!

Solution

  • I think this will be helpful to get local network information in your case this might be os dependent.

    import netifaces
    netifaces.interfaces()

    #>>['lo0', 'gif0', 'stf0', 'en0', 'en1', 'fw0']

    netifaces.ifaddresses('lo0')

    #>>{18: [{'addr': ''}], 2: [{'peer': '127.0.0.1', 'netmask': '255.0.0.0', 'addr': '127.0.0.1'}], 30: [{'peer': '::1', 'netmask': 'ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff', 'addr': '::1'}, {'peer': '', 'netmask': 'ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::', 'addr': 'fe80::1%lo0'}]}=['lo0', 'gif0', 'stf0', 'en0', 'en1', 'fw0']
