    Someone sent me the following message. Should I give him what he asked for? Where do I get these raw logs? Is he trying to hack me?

    "Kyle,

    If you could send me a few days of raw log files I am very interested in this site. Let me know if that is possible and I will send you and email or you can give me a place to download a few days of files..

    Thanks in Advanc,
    XXXX"

    NEVER!!!!!
    I am surprised you even ask. Your users privacy should be your first concern.

    With your log file some one can easily found your visitors browsing behaviour, from where they are coming. Also if you have any pages, which you don't want to made public and which only you browse (if you have any administrative page), can be known.

    Yea, and could possibly hack your computer if he's able to track your IP. Never give it out.
