Wait, how can network logs be unavailable? That seems odd.

Resource scaling affecting log access? That's like trying to catch a greased pig while blindfolded. Good luck, DFIR analyst!

"Network monitoring disabled by the company" - Ah, the classic "security through obscurity" approach. Bold move, let's see how that plays out.

I vaguely remember a case where network monitoring was disabled, but I don't know if that's typical for PaaS setups.

I feel like network logs being unavailable is a common problem in these scenarios, but I can't recall if it's the right answer.

I think resource scaling could complicate log access, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main issue here.

Hmm, and if the company has disabled network monitoring, that's just going to compound the problem. We'll be flying blind without that data.

Yikes, and if the network logs are unavailable, that's going to make it really hard to piece together what's happening. Gotta watch out for that.

Ah, good point. And if the company is scaling resources to handle the attack, that could also affect our ability to get the logs we need.

Network logs unavailable? Sounds like the company needs to rethink their security strategy. Or maybe they just really hate DFIR analysts.

A) Restricted access to their application logs is a big issue.

The DFIR analyst will have a hard time accessing the logs, that's for sure. PaaS can be a real headache when it comes to investigations.

Restricted access to application logs? That's a bummer. Gotta love the cloud, right? *sarcasm*

I remember studying about how PaaS environments can limit access to certain logs, so A seems plausible.

Okay, let's see. I'm guessing restricted access to application logs could be a big issue, since the PaaS provider might limit what we can access.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the challenges a DFIR analyst might face when investigating a DOS attack on a PaaS-hosted application.
