    If anybody is interested, I've developed WormScan [freshmeat.net] last year, which is a Java-based program (GPL) which can analyze your Apache log files for pretty much anything you want (just plug in your regular expressions).

    I think I've heard of a similar program before. I might have even used it... Hmm, what was that program?

    Oh, yeah! grep
