New Script: TurboAsusSec (Beta)--Foray into the world of AI development

[SolCutter]

I am preparing to get my butt handed to me... Joking...

A few months back with the Asus router security breaches, I found a need for more visibility into the routers security. At that time I started to investigate AIProtect and what it may actually offer to us (the user) and used AI in doing so to actually find what the IPS, botnet & CFS system did and how they worked.

I present to you a new Add-on, developed purely with AI. Well, I did use my knowledge to develop this script and move the AI along in doing so--whatever that is... For now I'm using this script for more information and reporting, than later to make system modifications. Together, me with various AIs in the cloud and local, have created a tool to give you insight into the base security components found in most Asus-Merlin routers. I find myself going into my router daily, checking AI Protect, Skynet and Diversion, tweaking them etc. This is so you can get a quick overview of those systems, with more features planned for later.

Feel free to run the code through your QA, of your own or AI based, to assure that I'm not "phoning home". I find that using this mixed AI system of development may be of benefit to developers here in the Merlin forums. I'm looking forward to feedback on this script & I plan to develop it further... Or maybe it's that this script is from the future. Thanks!

To run the script:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CutterSol/TurboAsusSec/main/install.sh -o /tmp/tcds-install.sh && sh /tmp/tcds-install.sh

Future plans include modifications to blocking, a webUI, correlation of logs, reporting, and AI analysis. For now, it's just a CLI menu driven script!

Run this script at your own risk! It's been tested on an AX-86U. Please share what model, firmware version, and relevant information with any reply you make here. Heck, I might have an AI agent respond...
Thanks!

# TurboAsusSec **(Beta)**

**Unified Security Management for ASUS Merlin Routers**

**This project is in BETA** - Active development, features being tested and refined

Integrate and manage **Skynet** (IP firewall), **Diversion** (DNS blocking), and **AIProtect** (threat detection) from a single, lightweight interface.

---

## What Does TurboAsusSec Do?

TurboAsusSec is a **unified security dashboard and management tool** for ASUS routers running Merlin firmware. Instead of managing Skynet, Diversion, and AIProtect separately, you get:

- **Single Interface** - One command (`tcds`) to access everything
- **Merged Views** - See combined whitelists across all security systems
- **Threat Intelligence** - Analyze AIProtect events, CVE signatures, and device security
- **Quick Access** - View logs, check status, run diagnostics instantly
- **Lightweight** - Smart caching minimizes resource usage (~1MB persistent, ~10MB peak)

Think of it as your **security command center** for Merlin routers.

You should go to the GitHub before asking questions. I would upload the entire README.MD, however the forum limits the upload context/characters/lines.

Blah blah blah blah.

AIProtect

There is no AIProtect component in Asuswrt. There is AiProtection name ASUS uses for the Trend Micro service included in firmware. Other vendors call it HomeShield for example and there is no AI there.
