tool for network traces anonymization
PktAnon is a generic framework for anonymization of network traces. The user provides an anonymization profile – a small configuration file where he or she describes how individual fields in packets’ headers must be processed. An anonymization profile consists of a list of packets, and for each field in the packet header an anonymization primitive is specified. Anonymization primitive is a function that transforms an original field into an anonymized field. For example, a user can configure ipv6 addresses to be anonymized using SHA1 anonymization primitive. PktAnon parses the packets from the input source and applies configured anonymization primitives to the listed fields. The main design decision in PktAnon is that anonymized packets are created from scratch. Fields are copied from the original packets into the new packets after anonymization. Thus no information from the original trace appears in the anonymized trace, unless it is explicitly configured. PktAnon comes with code to parse common packets and includes several anonymization primitives. PktAnon can also be easily extended with new anonymization primitives and new packets.
