    Just to add some more information, I run a small Apache 1.3.19 webserver
    on my home network. Nothing fancy, nothing special. Since about 10am this
    morning, I've had 19 Code Red attempts on that server. Correlating this
    with the firewall logs, it looks like only about half of the attacks were
    part of a contiguous scan. The remainder just targetted the web server. I
    also have other one-offs which bounced off of other non-web hosts on my
    network. The same sort of data shows up on my external corporate network,
    as well as our production network.
    
    In short, it looks like there's two sets of worms out there. One is
    scanning large contiguous netblocks in an obvious fashion, the other is
    hunting and pecking about random IP addresses.
    
    YMMV, HAND.
