    From what i read about the 'Code Red'-worm, it was supposed to be scanning
    for IIS-servers. It obviously is'nt, i believe it tries to infect
    everything they find on port 80, or something as simple as that.
    
    About three to four days ago, i started to get those default.ida-GET's in
    my Apache-logs. I shut down the server as fast as i could, and checked for
    outgoing connections from my computer, and then did some research.
    I was told that it was an IIS-worm, and that it could'nt affect
    Apache-servers, so i was safe. I turned the server back on, and from that
    day i have received forty-one attempts.
    
    How can this be? Why am i getting so few attempts, if it is as eEye says
    -- that every worm-instance has the same seed?
    I should be getting tons and tons of tries, if the worm has been around
    for this long. Or is it that my IP is high up in the "sequence", and not
    many comes that far? If that is the case, the number should be increasing
    fast in the near future, right?
    
    I'll come back with a report in a week or so.
