It fairly risky to download 500MB of log and analyse it locally in the machine. I know People do it anyways. Just saying.

- dstroot 3y agoRisky how exactly? If it has data in it that it shouldn't it's a problem no matter where it resides.
- ta1243 3y agoIn theory a logfile could contain privileged information (indeed it almost certainly will - IP addresses etc), putting that on a laptop increases risk of losing it.
- debarshri 3y agoIt is not about what data is in the log. It is about the fact that once the data is download, it most likely going to stay in the machine. Logs often contain privileged info, if not reveal a bit about how the application behaves. It is risky to do that.
- kiitos 3y agoIf logs contain privileged info, then the damage is done the moment they're published. Whether or not they're downloaded to a laptop is irrelevant, the risk impact is the same.
