Library usage

Full API:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/assafmo/xioc/xioc"
)

func main() {
	input := `e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

	1.2.3.4
	1.1.1[.]1
	info at gmail dot com
	hxxps://m.twitter[dot]com/`

	fmt.Println(xioc.ExtractDomains(input)) // => [i.robot.com m.twitter.com gmail.com banana.com]
	fmt.Println(xioc.ExtractSHA256s(input)) // => [e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855]
	fmt.Println(xioc.ExtractMD5s(input))    // => []
	fmt.Println(xioc.ExtractIPv4s(input))   // => [1.2.3.4 1.1.1.1]
	fmt.Println(xioc.ExtractURLs(input))    // => [http://i.robot.com/robots.txt https://m.twitter.com/]
