Explanation

For Internet Information Service (IIS) version 7.0, the default location for web server logs is in the directory %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles. Within this directory, you will find subfolders named W3SVCN, where N is a number that corresponds to the site ID of the IIS instance. These folders contain the log files for each website hosted on the server. Harley, as a SOC analyst, can investigate these logs for any anomalies by accessing this path. as outlined in Microsoft’s official documentation123. These references are part of the learning resources for understanding the management and structure of IIS logs, which are crucial for a SOC Analyst’s role in monitoring and analyzing web server activity for security purposes. The EC-Council’s SOC Analyst course and study guides also emphasize the importance of log file analysis in identifying and responding to security incidents.
