## Usage

```text

imaginary-addrs 0.1.0

Evan Pratten 

A utility for accepting traceroute on a whole /112 address block without 65 thousand hosts

USAGE:

    imaginary-addrs --interface  --network 

OPTIONS:

    -h, --help                     Print help information

    -i, --interface     Name of the tunnel to bring up

    -n, --network         The network to operate with

    -V, --version                  Print version information

```

Make sure to run this tool with elevated privileges (aka: `sudo`).

Once running, a new interface will be up on your host, and running `mtr` against any of its addresses will immediately resolve them and all numbers below.
