Cisco-ASA Syslog Simulator Sender

As we know, the security market are tools that make storage and interpretation of log files, syslog more precisely, it is a protocol typically used in safety systems, being used by Cisco-ASA firewall system.

Often we are faced with the need to get small programs that help in sending Syslog’s for logs correlation testing tools, example AlienVault OSSIM or Splunk that make correlation of various types of syslog’s available in the market, including the Syslog of the firewall’s Cisco -WING.

How can we test the receipt of these specific syslogs to know if the log interpretation system works perfectly?

Without having a Cisco ASA firewall-only testing, our team has developed a simple application in Java that is sending syslog messages via UDP simulated for the correlation server.
