scrambleflat
Scrambles a flat file
This Python script gives you the ability to hide sensitive data from your files before giving them away. For example you can anonymyze logins or hide IP adresses.
A simple example would be a log file to send to someone but you don't want to show the real names. This script is for you.
Prerequisites
- Linux (or similar)
- Python 2.x
Installation
I have nothing better yet
wget https://raw.github.com/samyboy/scrambleflat/master/scrambleflat -O scrambleflat /usr/local/bin
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/scrambleflat
How it works
scrambleflat takes the standard input, scrambles the data, and gives the
result on the standard output.
You will have to provide a file containing the terms to hide.
Usage
The best option to have an idea is to type scrambleflat --help.
This example scrambles the last system events and anonymyzes the local users:
# 1. create a list of terms to hide
cut -d ':' -f 1 /etc/passwd > my_users
# 2. scramble the logins on your machine
scrambleflat --terms my_users < /var/log/syslog
