Hi, triggered by some global discussions about privacy I've created a new program named "ipv6loganon", which is able to anonymize HTTP logs without loosing much information (e.g. the IPv6 address type - for further statistics). Some more information is below. Currently, it can not be used as pipe for apache HTTP server, reason is unknown, following config doesn't unfortunately not work (nothing will be logged anymore): CustomLog "| /usr/local/bin/ipv6loganon-static |/usr/sbin/cronolog /path/to/logs/server-log.%Y%m" combined Perhaps one can point me to a solution - thank you. Also some code improvements triggered by splint were done. Here pls. one can help me to splint also the md5 subdirectory, currently splint don't like the code there. Please run some tests. I plan to release package 0.70.0 in one week or so. Regards, Peter $ cat README $Id: README,v 1.2 2007/02/01 14:44:21 peter Exp $ ipv6loganon is a HTTP server log file anonymizer It expect a log line on stdin with an IPv4/IPv6 address as first token. This token would be anonymized according to given/default options. The anonymizer would keep as much information as possible for IPv6 address types. Client-side IID would be anonymized by - EUI-48 based: serial number would be zero'ed, keeping OID - EUI-64 based: serial number would be zero'ed, keeping OID - ISATAP: client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask - TEREDO: client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask client port would be zero'ed - 6to4(Microsoft): client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask - local: whole IID would be zero'ed Client-side SLA would be anonymized by - SLA would be zero'ed Prefix would be anonymized by - 6to4: client IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask Compat/Mapped IPv4 addresses would be anonymized by - IPv4 address would be anonymized by given IPv4 mask Afterwards, the modified address and the trailing line would be printed to stdout.
