ANONIP(1)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, anonip(1) is a User Commands tool and it's giving privacy 🔐 anonip anonymizes IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in logfiles, whether they already exist or get piped in live 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Here's the vibe check on how you call it 💅

usage: anonip [-h] [-4 INTEGER] [-6 INTEGER] [-i INTEGER] [-o FILE]

       [--input FILE] [-c INTEGER [INTEGER ...]] [-l STRING] [--regex
       STRING [STRING ...]] [-r STRING] [-p] [-d] [-v]

Anonip is a tool to anonymize IP-addresses in log files. It's literally that simple, no cap 🫶

💖 options 💖

• -h, --help — shows the help message and then bounces 👋
• -4 INTEGER, --ipv4mask INTEGER — truncates the last n bits of IPv4 addresses (default: 12) 🌈
• -6 INTEGER, --ipv6mask INTEGER — truncates the last n bits of IPv6 addresses (default: 84) ✨
• -i INTEGER, --increment INTEGER — increments the IP address by n (default: 0) 🧚
• -o FILE, --output FILE — the file you want to write to 📝
• --input FILE — a file or FIFO to read from (default: stdin) 🍓
• -c INTEGER [INTEGER ...], --column INTEGER [INTEGER ...] — tells anonip the IP address lives in column n. It's 1-based, so counting starts at 1 💅 (default: 1)
• -l STRING, --delimiter STRING — your log delimiter (default: " ") 🎀
• --regex STRING [STRING ...] — a regex for finding IP addresses. Use it optionally instead of -c 🔥
• -r STRING, --replace STRING — a replacement string for when address parsing fails, like 0.0.0.0 🙈
• -p, --skip-private — leaves addresses in private ranges alone, so they don't get masked. See the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registry for the deets 🦋
• -d, --debug — prints debug messages if you want the behind-the-scenes tea ☕
• -v, --version — shows the program's version number and then exits 💜
