lr_deanonymize1

Restore anonymized data, using a dump as produced by lr_anonymize(1)

Usage

lr_deanonymize dumpfilestem

Overview

lr_deanonymize is typically used when receiving anonymized reports from a responder. See the section on "Processing The Responder's Results" in the chapter on "Using A Responder" in the Lire User Manual for usage examples.

lr_deanonymize reads a file containing anonymized emailaddresses, ipnumbers, and hostnames (typically a report, generated from a logfile from an internet service) from stdin, and prints a "deanonymized" version of this file to stdout. It reads its information to do this from a bunch of Berkeley DB's, stored in files whose's names are derived from dumpfilestem, as produced by lr_anonymize(1).

Examples

A 'logfile' like e.g.

 blaat fkrf 1.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] [email protected] bla 1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat 1.2.3.4 fkrf 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla 1 www.hotsex.com 2 3 lj;agas;gag 
 [email protected] agagag
 blaat fkrf 4.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla [email protected] www.hotsex.com 
 234.34.2.0 [email protected] 4.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat fkrf tweede 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla 1.2.3.4 1 blablabla.com 
 2 mdcc.cx 
 3 lj;agas;gag

wil get anonymized to

 blaat fkrf 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] [email protected] bla 1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat 10.0.0.1 fkrf 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] bla 1 1.example.com 2 3 lj;agas;gag

 blaat fkrf tweede 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] bla 10.0.0.1 1 2.example.com 
 2 3.example.com 
 3 lj;agas;gag

The dump will look like

 ip 234.34.2.0 10.0.0.2
 ip 1.2.3.4 10.0.0.1
 inaddr 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
