IPv6 address planning can be a trial-and-error endeavor. There are useful tools for subnetting, but I couldn;t find anything that would just take a prefix, subnet length, and provide a simple list of the prefixes.

From time to time most network and / or security engineers will need to normalize the output of a set of URLs to either IP literals or a formatted list of DNS names. This can be particularly useful for feeding intelligence feeds or creating block/allow lists.
There are probably 10,000 other scripts to do this, but this one is mine.
Potential use cases:
Building custom pihole block / allow lists Building intelligence feeds Creating ACL lists Creating feeds for BGP filters Probably other stuff Benefits / Features
