This tool enables distributed scanning & network reconnaissance by efficiently dividing IP ranges across multiple machines while maintaining pseudo-random ordering. + +## Features + +- Memory-efficient IP range processing +- Deterministic pseudo-random IP generation +- High-performance LCG implementation +- Support for sharding across multiple machines +- Zero dependencies beyond Python standard library +- Simple command-line interface + +## Installation + +```bash +git clone https://github.com/acidvegas/pylcg +cd pylcg +chmod +x pylcg.py +``` + +## Usage + +### Command Line + +```bash +./pylcg.py 192.168.0.0/16 --shard-num 1 --total-shards 4 --seed 12345 +``` + +### As a Library + +```python +from pylcg import ip_stream + +# Generate IPs for the first shard of 4 total shards +for ip in ip_stream('192.168.0.0/16', shard_num=1, total_shards=4, seed=12345): + print(ip) +``` + +## How It Works + +### Linear Congruential Generator + +PyLCG uses an optimized LCG implementation with carefully chosen parameters: +- Multiplier (a): 1664525 +- Increment (c): 1013904223 +- Modulus (m): 2^32 + +This generates a deterministic sequence of pseudo-random numbers using the formula: +``` +next = (a * current + c) mod m +``` + +### Memory-Efficient IP Processing + +Instead of loading entire IP ranges into memory, PyLCG: +1. Converts CIDR ranges to start/end integers +2. Uses generator functions for lazy evaluation +3. Calculates IPs on-demand using index mapping +4. Maintains constant memory usage regardless of range size + +### Sharding Algorithm + +The sharding system uses an interleaved approach: +1. Each shard is assigned a subset of indices based on modulo arithmetic +2. The LCG randomizes the order within each shard +3. Work is distributed evenly across shards +4. No sequential scanning patterns + +## Performance + +PyLCG is designed for maximum performance: +- Generates millions of IPs per second +- Constant memory usage (~100KB) +- Minimal CPU overhead +- No disk I/O required + +Benchmark results on a typical system: +- IP Generation: ~5-10 million IPs/second +- Memory Usage: < 1MB for any range size +- LCG Operations: < 1 microsecond per number + +## Contributing + +### Performance Optimization + +We welcome contributions that improve PyLCG's performance. When submitting optimizations: + +1. Run the included benchmark suite: +```bash +python3 unit_test.py +``` + +2. Include before/after benchmark results for: +- IP generation speed +- Memory usage +- LCG sequence generation +- Shard distribution metrics + +3. Consider optimizing: +- Number generation algorithms +- Memory access patterns +- CPU cache utilization +- Python-specific optimizations + +4. Document any tradeoffs between: +- Speed vs memory usage +- Randomness vs performance +- Complexity vs maintainability + +### Benchmark Guidelines + +When running benchmarks: +1. Use consistent hardware/environment +2. Run multiple iterations +3. Test with various CIDR ranges +4. Measure both average and worst-case performance +5. Profile memory usage patterns +6.
