Myanon is a fast, deterministic anonymizer for MySQL dumps that processes data as a stream, preserving foreign key relationships via HMAC-SHA256 hashing. It's interesting because it offers JSON-aware parsing, extensible Python scripting for custom logic, and a comprehensive set of built-in anonymization rules, addressing a critical need for data privacy in development and testing.
