Good point. :-)

@wang: You might have want to have a look at the paper "Anomaly  
Detection of Web-based Attacks" by Giovanni Vigna and Christopher  
Kruegel (as well as "A multi-model approach to the detection of web- 
based attacks" by them).
They did log file analysis on access log data using statistical  
models. This might work for you as a labeling approach.


BTW: If you are interested in more detailed data than provided by  
access log files you might want to have a look at ModSecurity or my  
WebTap application (http://www.jwall.org/web/tap/) for recording  
complete user-input sent to web-applications.
