TRACEANON(1)

NAME
traceanon - anonymise ip addresses of traces

SYNOPSIS
traceanon [ -s | --encrypt-source ] [ -d | --encrypt-dest ] [ -p prefix | --prefix=prefix ] [ -c key | --cryptopan=key ] [ -z level | --compress-level=level ] [ -Z method | --compress-type=method ] sourceuri desturi

DESCRPTION
traceanon anonymises a trace by replacing IP addresses found in the IP header, and any embedded packets inside an ICMP packet. It also fixes the checksums inside TCP and UDP headers. Two anonymisation schemes are supported, the first replaces a prefix with another prefix. This can be used for instance to replace a /16 with the equivilent prefix from RFC1918. The other scheme is cryptopan which is a prefix preserving encryption scheme based on AES.

-s
--encrypt-source
    encrypt only source ip addresses.

-d
--encrypt-dest
    encrypt only destination ip addresses.

-p
--prefix=prefix
    substitute the high bits of the IP addresses with the provided prefix.

-c
--cryptopan=key
    encrypt the IP addresses using the prefix-preserving cryptopan method using the key "key". The key can be up to 32 bytes long, and will be padded with NULL characters.

-z
--compress-level=level
    compress the output trace using a compression level of "level". Compression level can range from 0 (no compression) through to 9. Higher compression levels require more CPU to compress data. Defaults to no compression.

-Z
--compress-type=method
    compress the output trace using the compression algorithm "method". Possible algorithms are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo" and "none". Default is "none".

EXAMPLES
traceanon --cryptopan="fish go moo, oh yes they do" \
	--encrypt-source \
	--encrypt-dest \
	--compress-level=1 \
	--compress-type=gzip \
	erf:/traces/unenc.gz \
	erf:/traces/enc.gz \

BUGS
This software should support encrypting based on the direction/interface flag. IP addresses inside ARP's are not encrypted.
