"Probes, Logs and Things That Go Bump in the Night."

If you are on the internet, it is more than likely your site has been
probed by another site. Depending on your site, this may be a daily 
or yearly occurrence. So what should you do about it? Is there any 
reason to report them if they didn't get in? What can you do about 
it? How do they get in and what happens when they do? What are the 
new tricks they are using? These areas and more will be discussed 
during this talk.
