ipv6loganon - HTTP server log file anonymizer

cat /var/log/httpd/access_log | ipv6loganon [OPTIONS]

This program anonymizes IPv4/IPv6 addresses in HTTP server log files

Takes data from stdin, processes it to stdout.

Depending on the anonymization method, address parts (prefix/interface identifier) are

1. simply zeroized by given masks.

2. anonymized by zeroizing only required bits (partially depending on specified masks).

3. anonymized by trying to keep for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (keep-type-asn-cc)

When zeroing only required bits (mode 2) the possibilities are

serial number would be zero'ed, keeping OID ISATAP: client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask TEREDO: client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask, client port would be zero'ed
6to4(Microsoft):
client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask
whole IID would be zero'ed (except if privacy extension was detected, then replaced by a special token)
IPv6 addresses including IPv4 address of client will be anonymized by the given IPv4 mask

When anonymizing with keep (mode 3) the relevant fields are: type of address, Autonomous System Number (ASN), and Country Code (CC)

This method requires an IPv4/IPv6 to Country Code and ASN resolution, provided by GeoIP

Big advantage: ipv6logstats(8) result should be the same as with raw data

Anonymized IPv4 addresses are from experimental range 240.0.0.0/8

Anonymized IPv6 addresses are using (currently hijacked) prefix a909::/16

Anonymized IPv6 IID is starting with a9x9 (x = anonymized nibbles of SLA)

set cache limit. Default: 20, maximum: 200.

Processing options:

Shortcut for anonymization presets:

--anonymize-standard (default)
--anonymize-careful
--anonymize-paranoid

Supported methods [--anonymize-method METHOD]:

reliable anonymization, keep as much type information as possible
simple zeroizing according to given masks, probably loose type information
Autonomous System Number and CountryCode. LP Available presets (shortcut names) [--anonymize-preset PRESET-NAME]:
mask-ipv6= 56 mask-ipv4=24 mask-eui64=40 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=yes method=anonymize
mask-ipv6= 48 mask-ipv4=20 mask-eui64=24 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=yes method=anonymize
mask-ipv6= 40 mask-ipv4=16 mask-eui64= 0 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=no method=anonymize
mask-ipv6= 56 mask-ipv4=24 mask-eui64=40 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=yes method=zeroize
mask-ipv6= 48 mask-ipv4=20 mask-eui64=24 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=yes method=zeroize
mask-ipv6= 40 mask-ipv4=16 mask-eui64= 0 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=no method=zeroize
mask-ipv6= 56 mask-ipv4=24 mask-eui64=40 mask-mac=24 mask-autoadjust=yes method=keep-type-asn-cc

Custom control:

mask IPv4 address [0-32] (even if occurs in IPv6 address)
mask IPv6 prefix [0-64] (only applied to related address types)
mask EUI-64 address or IPv6 interface identifier [0-64]
mask MAC address [0-48]
autoadjust mask to keep type/vendor information regardless of less given mask
