Actually...   the countermeasures were only partially successful...  those
times where I've been able to inject an e-mail into the attacking system,
I suspect they were never read...  OK...  I did get ONE reply to which I
responded; but nothing back...  

I've been down with the flu for a couple of days, so been using the time
to address some issues (postfix anti-spam & Nimda/CodeRed "crud")...  For
a while, my daily reports showed no activity on Nimda/CodeRed scene; then
on March 10th, the flood gates started opening again...

On the _passive_ side, I have some ideas for short-circuiting Nimda
attacks with iptables.  

On the _active_ (aka "hackback"), if anyone has time and a Windows(YUCK!)
system available for trying out stuff, contact me offline...  M$ and their
cronies have not been able to put a stop to the proliferation of these
infections, so I'm game to give it a try if someone wants to help...  The
purpose of a Windows machine is to be the attacker/spankee...  actual
virus/worm optional...  :^)
