NAME
tracemerge - Merge one (or more) traces together SYNOPSIS
tracemerge [ -i [ interfaces_per_input ] | --set-interface [ interfaces_per_input ] ] [ -u | --unique-packets ] [ -z | --compress-level <level> ] [ -Z | --compress-type <method> ] outputuri inputuri... DESCRPTION
tracemerge merges two or more traces together, keeping packets in order. -i[interfaces_per_input] --set-interface[interfaces_per_input] set the interface ("direction") for each input to be unique. The optional inputs_per_interface parameter is how many inputs to reserve for each trace, and defaults to 1. Thus if you have two traces with two interfaces (in/out), and interfaces_per_input is set to 2, then tracemerge will have the first interface of the first input will be 0, the second interface of the first input will be 1, the first interface of the second input will be 2, and the second interface of the second input will be 3. Beware that erf only supports 4 interfaces, and pcap only supports 2. Limitations apply based on the input trace format (not the output trace format) -u --unique-packets Ignore duplicate packets with identical timestamps. -zlevel --compress-levellevel Sets the amount of compression performed on the output file. This value can range from 0 (no compression) to 9 (maximum compres- sion). Higher compression levels require more CPU to compress data. Defaults to 0. -Zmethod --compress-typemethod Describes the compression algorithm to be used when writing the output trace. Possible methods are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo" and "none". Defaults to "none".

NAME
traceanon - anonymise ip addresses of traces SYNOPSIS
traceanon [ -s | --encrypt-source ] [ -d | --encrypt-dest ] [ -p prefix | --prefix=prefix ] [ -c key | --cryptopan=key ] [ -f key-file | --keyfile=file ] [ -z level | --compress-level=level ] [ -Z method | --compress-type=method ] sourceuri desturi DESCRPTION
traceanon anonymises a trace by replacing IP addresses found in the IP header, and any embedded packets inside an ICMP packet. It also fixes the checksums inside TCP and UDP headers. Two anonymisation schemes are supported, the first replaces a prefix with another prefix. This can be used for instance to replace a /16 with the equivilent prefix from RFC1918. The other scheme is cryptopan which is a prefix preserving encryption scheme based on AES. -s --encrypt-source encrypt only source ip addresses. -d --encrypt-dest encrypt only destination ip addresses. -p --prefix=prefix substitute the high bits of the IP addresses with the provided prefix. -c --cryptopan=key encrypt the IP addresses using the prefix-preserving cryptopan method using the key "key". The key can be up to 32 bytes long, and will be padded with NULL characters. -f --keyfile=file encrypt the IP addresses using the prefix-preserving cryptopan method using the key specified in the file "file". The key must be 32 bytes long. A suitable method of generating a key is by using the command dd to read from /dev/urandom. -z --compress-level=level compress the output trace using a compression level of "level". Compression level can range from 0 (no compression) through to 9. Higher compression levels require more CPU to compress data. Defaults to no compression. -Z --compress-type=method compress the output trace using the compression algorithm "method". Possible algorithms are "gzip", "bzip2", "lzo" and "none". Default is "none". EXAMPLES
traceanon --cryptopan="fish go moo, oh yes they do" --encrypt-source --encrypt-dest --compress-level=1 --compress-type=gzip erf:/traces/unenc.gz erf:/traces/enc.gz BUGS
This software should support encrypting based on the direction/interface flag. IP addresses inside ARP's are not encrypted. LINKS
