    I believe that Nimda and Code Red are usually dormant at the end of every
    month anyway. They'll be back in a few days.
    
    But I agree that many Nimda-like probes are probably script kiddies. If you
    are talking about just the one particular hit that Tomo listed, most of my
    query sources have been script kiddies rather than Nimda.
