It sits next to MaxMind's lower-level MMDB tooling but is aimed at structured inspection: the README describes command-line lookup of IP addresses or CIDR networks against one or more databases, including globbed database paths, YAML output by default, and JSONL output for streaming workflows. ### How it is used The tool reflects the operational needs of GeoIP and related MMDB users. Its selection rules handle both host lookups and larger networks, returning contained records where possible and falling back to the containing record when no contained record exists. Release packaging covers binary tarballs, Debian packages, RPM packages, macOS archives, Windows zip files, and Go installation, while Homebrew and Nix expose it as a package-manager install. In practice it is used for auditing GeoIP2, GeoLite2, and custom MMDB files where users need repeatable, machine-readable output rather than the typed diagnostic output of `mmdblookup`. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mmdbinspect - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - mmdbinspect: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/mm/mmdbinspect/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [mmdbctl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mmdbctl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, database-tools, geoip, maxmind-db, mmdb. - [geoip2fast](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/geoip2fast/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, geoip, ip-lookup, networking. - [geoipupdate](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/geoipupdate/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, geoip, networking. - [activemq](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/activemq/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking. - [adns](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/adns/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking. - [aerleon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aerleon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking. - [ahcpd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ahcpd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking. - [airshare](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/airshare/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
