Nimda worm (Re: [Gllug] Code Blue)

[jim]

The "GET /scripts/..%%35c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0"  thing
is not Code Blue after all, it's a new one variously known as Nimda, Code
Rainbow and Concept Virus v.5 . Info on Bugtraq and Slashdot.

What sort of a name is Nimda anyway? Acronym? "Not In My Data ... Apache"?
