Run chkrootkit, rkhunter, upgrade your apache, upgrade your webapps (anything
PHP- or perl-based, AWStats, etc), look in /tmp for anything funky, look
anywhere www-data can write for the same, make sure nothing's been overwritten.
Also, if you're writing your own CGI or PHP, start throwing backticks, pipes,
quotes, dollar signs, and backslashes at anything resembling an input field.
It'll look like you're a cartoon swearing, but might reveal issues.
