MOM Sanitizer 1.0.0.dev1

M.O.M. Sanitizer

Development Version (1.0.0.dev1)

Note: Please clone this repository for most recent version. [Requires: Python 3.5+]

Overview

For those with compliance requirements or who are concerned with minimizing exposure of personally identifiable information, we took it upon ourselves to build something that could (M)odularly assist with (O)bfuscating digital (M)edia. The efficiency of this command line tool is that you can move this application into your production environments and scan files in place, rather relocating any sensitive data. Then ideally remove this application from the environment and report your findings as this is not meant to be an ongoing solution for mitigating out of bounds PII.

Description

mom_sanitizer was created to assist with identifying any PII (Personally Identifiable Information) stored at rest in clear text, particularly when it isn't expected such as in log files. This application can scan your unencrypted data and identify potential PII.

According to Nist Special Publication 800-122, examples of PII include, but are not limited to:

Names, such as full name, maiden name, mother‘s maiden name, or alias
Personal identification numbers, such as social security number (SSN), passport number, driver‘s license number, taxpayer identification number, or financial account or credit card number
Address information, such as street address or email address
We are always trying to improve this utility, so please post your suggestions.

Installation

mom_sanitizer requires Python 3.5 and the only supported platform is Linux32/64bits. Please note any difficulties encountered when using this application.
