    See if a hacker attacks your Web server, or even if you just want to check its security status, then the Web logs will be your first choice for finding information. By default, you can% SYSTEMROOT% / System32/logfiles Department to find these log files.
    However, this position is well known, has become the target of public criticism, so you should move the log file a non-system drive, this drive does not preserve, protect your Web site.
