#linux #networking #router #automation #bash #python #ruby

The suggest from my tutor was to “write an automation script that goes into my router and pulls the logs from the router logs to system logs and then scans them for any occurrences of nmap and sends the results to me in an email. Possibly filtering by priority?

To Research

Router Access

• does my router have logs accessible
• can my router easily transfer those logs to my system logs or do I have to manually do that?

System logs

• where is the appropriate place to put them?

Cron job

• set it up where?

Email server

• can I send it directly to my thundermail client or does it have to go through gmail?

Additional Practice

• redo this assignment using my linux machine?
• redo in py?
