just as a thought , it must depend on what network your in , whereas I am in 
the 65.69 network, i recieve constant hits from infected nimda victims, but, 
i only received 5 hits since 8 Dec of the code red. just food for thought...

HI All,
      Has anyone else noticed that code red has bounced back very
quickly this month after its sleep period.  In past months snort has
not seen CodeRed attacks until 9th or 10th, this month I started seeing
them on the 2nd and by the 4th they had overtaken nimda and now they
have overtaken lastmonths peak with 9 days to go.

I also keep an eye on how many systems are probing us on port 80, this
jumped from about 800 unique source addresses per hour on Nov 30 to
nearly 3000 this morning.

Any ideas what has changed?
