Pattern

regexJavaScript
/(?:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}/g

Raw source: (?:[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}

How it works

Seven groups of 1–4 hex digits each followed by a colon, then a final hextet. Does not cover :: shorthand or IPv4-mapped addresses — use a more complex pattern if you need those forms.
