I'd like to add a feature request to the list in the wiki. As per the rules listed there, I'd like to know from the devs if this idea is something worthy of a feature request.

A lot of times, Wireshark captures get uploaded to the internet for others to view/compare/analyze. However, there are many times when a log of IP addresses and MAC addresses could be detrimental. Therefore, I'm suggesting an easy way (one click perhaps?) to anonymize the data. Unique IPs and MACs would have to be replaced with something such as 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2, etc... and maintained throughout the results.

Granted, this would not be useful for every occasion or user but I think that it would be a welcome addition that would benefit a great number of users.

Thanks,
Kevin
