strike

Strike

Command line script to generate mysql dump with encrypted data. This is a wrapper arround the my_obfuscate gem.

Installation

To install it:

$ gem install strike

Or install it yourself:

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec rake install

Usage

To see all the options execute:

$ strike help

To generate a new dump, use the following command:

$ strike dump mysql://root@localhost/db_production --profile=tables.rb > obfuscated_dump.sql

To obfuscate an existing sql dump, use the following command:

$ cat original_dump.sql | strike obfuscate --profile=tables.rb > obfuscated_dump.sql

It is very important to generate the mysql dump with the -c option.

This command dumps the database_url following the tables defined in the profile file (defaults to Strikefile). The default dump output is STDOUT.

The database_url must have one of the following formats:

mysql://user:password@host/database
mysql://user@host/database

It uses the same database url format than Sequel.

Profile file

The profile file is a ruby file with the definitions of the tables that hold the data that needs to be obfuscated or encrypted. The definitions has the same format that is specified by the my_obfuscate gem, but with a convenient DSL. Not all the data of all the tables needs to be defined.

By default, the command will search for a Strikefile in the current directory.

Example profile file:

# tables_definition.rb

table :users do |t|
  # t.column_name :obfuscation_type
  t.name          :first_name
  t.email         :email
end

def some_method
  'Fixed title'
end

table :movies do |t|
  t.title type: fixed, string: some_method
  t.date  type: fixed, string: proc { |row| DateTime.now }
end

Dependencies

• mysqldump: to create the dump to manipulate.
• my_obfuscate: the core of this utility.
• Thor: cli utilities.

Notes
