Hey guys, technical question here.

I have been working from home on workers compensation for about a week, and I need to be able to prove that I accessed/signed in to the company e-learning website via my computer, hopefully with dates/times logged. Is there any way I can do this? Is it on my computer or would I need to go through my ISP?

My history deletes itself every day. I am running windows 10 and firefox.

Thanks!

A companies e-learning website should have its own logging.

Pretty much this. You can't count on logs that you create. You could create whatever you want.

Your ISP isn't going to care.

Your company should be able to help you.

How do they want the documentation? What are you supposed to do?

You could run wireshark while connecting to the web server and save the packet capture as a .pcapng file and give them the file on a flash drive or dropbox or whatever.

i think he's asking in the past tense to prove his last weeks events, if so i'd say only the website or your ISP could provide that info.(ISP not a hope they will care about you)

Any log you send them can be midified to suit yourself so i don't know what they can gain from such a thing. If they wanna check your login times that's on their end.

I would say the e-learning website should be able to do that. Not sure if you get much help from ISP and how much of a proof it is.

I'd be amazed if you get anything helpful from the ISP. If your company needs this proof, and the only likely source of it is logs from the server hosting that same company's e-learning website, what's the problem?
