AWS IP Checker

A small utility tool to check whether an IP Address belongs to AWS. The input IP Address can be specified directly or via a Domain Name

It is writting in Go, mainly to avoid the need to install any runtime environment (e.g. JVM, Python, or node.js).

How it works

Simply, it downloads the ip-ranges.json file, parse it, then search in it for desired IP address.

For that, it needs access to the internet (also if a Domain Name is used, then the access to a DNS server is needed)
