I threw together a perl script for better filtering and viewing of my server logs. What I found is a bunch of hackers out there trying to see if this is a windows machine they can crack:
/scripts/..%%35c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir

There's also a variety of spider/bots sniffing about:
daypopbot/0.2 Netprospector JavaCrawler Scooter-W3.1.2 Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) Slarp/0.1 Openfind data gatherer, Openbot/3.0+(http://www.openfind.com.tw/robot.html) Cartographer 1.4 BlogBot/1.1 FAST-WebCrawler/3.3 (http://fast.no/support.php?c=faqs/crawler) larbin_2.*
I havn't heard of Larbin. It's a Linux based webcrawler and all of the traffic I'm getting from it is coming from France.
On closer inspection Cartographer may not be a bot, more of a browsing assistant the files away everything you've seen, evaluates it, and makes some nifty keen pictures.
