Microsoft IIS Web Log Analysis
Tools Used: Windows Powershell, OSINT
September 2025
- Parsed and analyzed IIS (W3C Extended) logs to profile traffic patterns and identify suspicious HTTP activity using Microsoft Log Parser/Log Parser Studio and Python
- Built queries and regex-based detection to surface indicators of web attacks (e.g., injection/traversal patterns, abnormal user agents, repeated failures), then summarized results with Pandas/Excel
- Normalized timestamp semantics (UTC vs local) and correlated log events into a basic timeline to support incident-style investigation and reporting
