How secure is the anonymized data?
Anonymizing/Obfuscating data is hard. You should be cautious of how widely you distribute data that rwrandomizeip has processed: • The rwrandomizeip program only anonymizes the source and destination IP address. Any additional information in the data (such as the existence of services that run on well known ports or protocols) is still visible. • In consistent mode, the data is much less random, since the value in an octet is always mapped to the same value. Given the structure of IP addresses on the Internet, reversing the mapping would not be difficult. • The default mode does not suffer from that problem, but you cannot do any meaningful traffic analysis on the anonymized data since the mapping is not consistent.
