# lr\_deanonimize(1)

restore anonimized data, using a dump as produced by lr\_anonimize(1)

## NAME

lr\_deanonimize - restore anonimized data, using a dump as produced by [*lr\_anonimize*(1)](/lr_anonimize/1.md)

## SYNOPSIS

**lr\_deanonimize** *dumpfilestem*

## DESCRIPTION

lr\_deanonimize reads a file containing anonimized emailaddresses, ipnumbers,  and hostnames (typically a report, generated from a logfile from an internet  service) from stdin, and prints a "deanonimized" version of this file  to stdout. It reads its information to do this from a bunch of Berkeley DB's, stored in files whose's names are derived from  *dumpfilestem*, as produced by [*lr\_anonimize*(1)](/lr_anonimize/1.md).

## EXAMPLE

A 'logfile' like e.g.

```
 blaat fkrf 1.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] pietje@bigcompany.com bla 1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat 1.2.3.4 fkrf 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla 1 www.hotsex.com 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 jan@blaat.frut.com agagag
 blaat fkrf 4.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla pietje@bigcompany.com www.hotsex.com
 234.34.2.0 jan@blaat.frut.com 4.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat fkrf tweede 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa] bla 1.2.3.4 1 blablabla.com
 2 mdcc.cx
 3 lj;agas;gag
```

wil get anonimized to

```
 blaat fkrf 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] john.doe.1@example.com bla 1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat 10.0.0.1 fkrf 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] bla 1 1.example.com 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 john.doe.2@example.com agagag
 blaat fkrf 3.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] bla john.doe.1@example.com 1.example.com
 10.0.0.2 john.doe.2@example.com 3.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa1 2 3 lj;agas;gag
 blaat fkrf tweede 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa] bla 10.0.0.1 1 2.example.com
 2 3.example.com
 3 lj;agas;gag
```

The dump will look like

```
 ip 234.34.2.0 10.0.0.2
 ip 1.2.3.4 10.0.0.1
 inaddr 3.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa 2.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
 inaddr 1.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa 1.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
 inaddr 4.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa 3.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa
 domain mdcc.cx 3.example.com
 domain blablabla.com 2.example.com
 domain www.hotsex.com 1.example.com
 email jan@blaat.frut.com john.doe.2@example.com
 email pietje@bigcompany.com john.doe.1@example.com
