NetAddr-IP-Obfuscate version 0.01 ================================= This is a module for replacing IP addresses in plain text with obfuscated equivalents from the network range supplied. IP addresses are replaced one-for-one throughout the text, so once an IP address has an obfuscated equivalent, it stays that way. This is useful for things like Nessus scan reports that you want to share or make public, but want to shield an organization's identity at the same time. Here are some examples of usage: use NetAddr::IP::Obfuscate; do_obfu(); use NetAddr::IP::Obfuscate; $num_found = do_obfu($infile, "10.0.0.0/8", $outfile); use NetAddr::IP::Obfuscate; @obfuscated_ips = do_obfu($infile, "10.0.0.0/8", $outfile); use NetAddr::IP::Obfuscate; do_obfu("-", "10.0.0.0/8", "STDOUT"); cat /tmp/somecompany.nsr | \ perl -MNetAddr::IP::Obfuscate -e 'do_obfu()' > /tmp/sample.nsr NetAddr::IP::Obfuscate exports one function, do_obfu(). do_obfu(); $num_found = do_obfu ($infile, $network, $outfile); @obfuscated_ips = do_obfu ($infile, $network, $outfile); There is a no argument form of do_obfu, that assigns default values to all its parameters. The first, the input file, is set to "-" (reads from STDIN), the second, the network range used for replacement, is set to "10.0.0.0/8", and the last, the output file, is set to "STDOUT". This form is particularly useful for something like this one-liner: cat /tmp/somecompany.nsr | \ perl -MNetAddr::IP::Obfuscate -e 'do_obfu()' > /tmp/sample.nsr Which will obfuscate all the IP addresses in /tmp/somecompany.nsr with IP's from the range 10.0.0.0/8, and write the result out to /tmp/sample.nsr. In the three-argument version, the first argument is the input text file, presumably containing IP addresses, that we will be obfuscating. Use the string "-" to read from standard input. The second argument is a network address, which should be given in CIDR notation, and really represents a range of IP addresses from which we can draw from while doing the IP address substitutions (Note that the use of NetAddr::IP means that we will never overflow this range - but it will wrap around if we increment it enough). Using an RFC1918 private address range is a good idea if you are using this module to obfuscate Nessus scan reports for public dissemination. The last function argument is the output file, which will have all of the original file's IP addresses, replaced one-for-one with IP addresses from the supplied range. Use the string "STDOUT" for standard output. do_obfu returns the total number of IP addresses replaced if it is called in a scalar context, or a list of the obfuscated IP addresses, if called in a list context.
