I see this in my error log...

[Wed Dec 15 15:33:53 2010] [error] [client 94.136.45.55] client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:)

And later: [Wed Dec 15 19:46:25 2010] [error] [client 95.211.92.34] client sent invalid HTTP/0.9 request: HEAD HTTP/1.0

The IP's are very similar, I'm assuming he changed his IP to reduce being tracked. Was he trying to hack me? Common sense tells me no one has a w00tw00t in a HTTP request unless it's trying to be malicious.

If you google "w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind" you'll find a lot of results. I don't know a lot about it but it looks like it's someone scanning the server for vulnerabilities, but by itself it doesn't mean anything was hacked. (But yeah, I guess you could say it was someone trying).
