"cracks" via tor



I just got a complaint from someone who said one of my servers 
(running a tor daemon) had a "hacker" on it trying to break 
into his website. He sent me some log entries, which had some 
pretty tame "foo.pl?user=bill" type of hits.

While this doesn't look like the crack of the century, it does 
pose an interesting question in that if someone is trying to do 
web exploits via tor, how can such a thing be prevented? I 
can't think of any way.

Could this have some dodgy legal implications for people running 
tor servers? I'm sure EFF has something to say about this. ;)

Thanks,

-Jeff
