Update:
I also notified about this finding to folks that are part of the mesh Signal Messaging group, and so far the person replying says that it may be a centralized log Server. A link (
https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware/issues/68 ) was also provided, about an issue in github that talks about the implementation of this Syslog Server.
After reading the issue on github, I checked on the /var/log/messages file.
This log file collects all the HostNames, IP address, and MAC address of all connecting devices (computers, phones, iPads, AppleTVs, etc) to the Mesh and Private networks.
Even though I understand the need for logs for troubleshooting purposes, I would like to know others folks thoughts about this collection.
Are you okay with this?
How critical is to have these log files?
Is possible for Peoples Open Network to be part of the "No Logs, No Masters" idea?
With the absolute intention of making the PON stronger and safer,
Daniel
