This is a difficult question to answer because it's very general. Still, here are a few things to think about:

Most of what you are asking for seems to be at the application layer. If for example you have a website written in php you could use seomthing like this tutorial to do user logging.

The idea of user logging is also tied to the use of cookies - you create a session when a user logs in, and maintain user state via the browser cookie. Every time a user opens a new page, the client sends the session cookie to the server so the server can know which user is accessing the page. This sort of information can also be logged to a database and cataloged for later reference.

As for your idea of monitoring users who try to inject malicious code, you probably want instead to write a robust web application where that sort of thing is minimized (for example, by sanitizing input).

Beyond all of that you can use good system management practices to ensure your server is secure, by doing things like keeping current on security patches and properly configuring your firewall.
