log-file-analysis-5-8-page-paper

Write a 5-8 page paper (single spaced) that details the tools you used to analyze the logs, the steps you took, the logs analyzed, and your observation of the data collected from the various logs. Create some “nefarious” activity being captured in the logs to make sure your logging tools are functioning properly. Explain why you chose the tools you used, how you used them and provide copies of the tool output in the appendices of your report. If you write a “cool” scripting tool that can analyze your logs I will award extra credit up to 15 points for a working script with its associated output. This lab could also be done on the Simspace Range.
