IIS Logparser.

don't let the name fool ya. It work on many different types of logs
and text files.

I use it for incident response / analysis.

Hi!
Currently, I'm looking for a web log file analysis tool which does not cause
too much traffic/load on our LAMPP web servers.
I've tried hobbit monitor (http://*hobbit*mon.sourceforge.net), but was
disappointed, since the script I needed to search for suspicious patterns
(bb-msgs.pl) was not part of the main package.
I've also installed awstats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) which uses
worms.pm to look for suspicious windows worms.
However, I would love to find a plugin for awstats (or another program) that
could also detect XSS attempts - as far as this is possible using only
Apache log files.
Thank you very much in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Anja Hofmann
