Most times you check your router logs, you’re likely to be investigating connectivity issues and checking to see whether you have an internet connection. What follows are some of the most useful and/or interesting events I picked out from the logs. Useful events from the Technicolor TG582nĪfter leaving the syslog service and Logstash running for about a week, I opened the log file in Excel and manipulated the contents into a format that would enable me to filter them down to unique event types.

I was looking to gather events from a longer period of time to identify as many event types as possible, so I set up Logstash to receive the syslog and write the events to a file I could analyse later.

If you’re sending logs for a quick check then Wireshark is probably enough. Naturally, this means that once again we’ll need a service listening on port 514 on the destination system. The second command displays the list of syslog rules so we can make sure the rule was added correctly, and the final one enables the syslog service so events will begin to be transmitted. It gathers events from all facilities (or services) and at all severity levels (debug being the lowest) and transmits them via syslog to the destination IP address specified. The first command adds a syslog rule on the router. syslog ruleadd fac = all sev = debug dest = syslog list syslog config activate = enabled To set all events to be transmitted via syslog regardless of the service that generated them or their severity, enter the following commands.

Luckily, the Technicolor TG582n has a system for managing event log rules and a series of commands to view the rules, add new rules, remove rules, and start and stop the logging service. syslog msgbuf send dest =īut we’re looking for something a little longer lasting. Make sure you have something listening on port 514 to receive them. If you’re in a hurry and just want to grab recent events, you can use the command below to send whatever events are in the router’s cache to your analysis machine via syslog. Now let’s turn our attention to turning on the event log. When we log in, we’re greeted with some nice ASCII art.īeautiful. That’s right - the manufacturer is forcing us to send our administrative credentials over an unencrypted protocol to configure the router, so make sure you don’t do this if there’s a chance anyone malicious is on your network.

While there may not be a manual for the Technicolor TG582n router’s event logging capabilities, there is a manual for its Telnet interface.

With that mission in mind, and safe in the knowledge that even bricking the device would have no repercussions for my internet access now I had a new router, I set out to find how to gather logs from the Technicolor TG282n and to aggregate enough of them that I could give an overview of some of the most common events generated by the little box, which until then had been gathering dust in a cupboard. So with a little more digging and the additional knowledge I’ve gained via experience since then, I thought I might be able to assemble something of a manual for anyone still using this router who wants to explore its event log and monitor their network activity. I used this router for several years (hence why I had one laying around) and as I grew more interested in cyber security I remember searching around several times for any information I could find regarding its logging capabilities and finding very little. It is, or was, the default ADSL router for a number of internet service providers (ISPs) and seems to be a common option to distribute to customers on bog standard tariffs who haven’t earned the Home Hubs and Sky Hubs of this world.

The Technicolor TG582n is a common sight in British homes - and, if internet forums are a fair reflection of reality, homes in several other countries, too.

I’ve used that information along with some analysis of my own to compile this - the missing event logging manual - in the hope that it might help others to expore their routers’ event logs in future. Online information about the Technicolor TG582n router’s event logging capabilities is scarce, and scattered across a number of forums. What started as curiosity has turned into something of a labour of love.
