Site stats, anti-spam question

[audiodef]

I'm rebuilding my server, and I'm interesting in using site analytics (awstats or whatever.) Are such packages able to get spammed? If so, what do I need to do to prevent that?

If you use apache, you can have a look on mod_security and mod_evasive, for example. And protect your awstats pages by login/password, of course.
