💖 RANONYMIZE — the ranonymize(1) glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ranonymize(1), a General Commands Manual page that's about to get the group-chat treatment. no cap, it's genuinely a banger.

✨ NAME ✨

ranonymize — anonymize argus(8) data fields. yes literally that's the whole name section, it's giving minimalism and honestly? iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ranonymize [-f anonymize.conf] [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea, bestie. Ranonymize reads argus data from an argus-data source, strips out specific fields, and then anonymizes the remaining fields in Argus records. and when I say "the remaining fields" I mean a lot of them, so buckle up:

  • the network addresses 🌈
  • protocol specific port numbers
  • timestamps ⏰
  • transaction reference numbers
  • TCP base sequence numbers
  • IP identifiers
  • any record sequence numbers

like, it really said "privacy? we're doing that." 👑

All of this anonymization is controlled through an anonymization configuration file. and if you wanna know every single detail of how that config works, go read ranonymize(5) — it has the complete description, fr fr. 📖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so Ranonymize shares all the same options as ra(1). like, all of them. so if you want the complete description of ra options, that's a ra(1) moment, not a me moment. go look. 🫶

but the ranonymize(1)-specific options? those are the main character energy right here:

  • -f anonymization.confile — this is the one, the only, the ranonymize-specific flag. ✨

and that's genuinely the whole list. short and slay. 💀
