gopost

GO POST !

This Go program automates the process of posting JSON log data to a specified server endpoint securely. It reads log files, sanitizes the data to escape HTML/PHP tags, signs the data with an HMAC SHA512 signature for integrity verification, and posts the data over HTTPS.

Features

• Secure Data Transmission: Uses HTTPS to ensure data is encrypted in transit.
• Data Integrity: Applies HMAC SHA512 to log data ensuring integrity and authenticity.
• HTML/PHP Tag Sanitization: Escapes HTML/PHP tags in log data to prevent injection attacks.
• Flexible Configuration: Supports specifying multiple log files and custom post variables through a configuration file.

Configuration

The program reads its configuration from a file named post.cfg located either in the current directory or in /etc/cybersupervisor/. The configuration file should be in JSON format, specifying the server URL, the HMAC secret for signing the data, and the log files to process. It supports multiple log files. Please ensure max file size defined does not exceed the size of your log files in program source.
