I looked for Slammer on lots of different vantage points a few years
ago and no evidence it was still running anywhere on the public
Internet. I'd be interested to see evidence to the contrary.  I think
it is dead unless someone can show me otherwise.

I'm not sure if the Conficker sinkholes are still running.  We had one
while I was at Team Cymru and it was still running as of about 2016 or
so, but I'd be surprised if they have kept it going this long - most of
the registrars had stopped sinking names a long time ago.  Traffic had
fallen off quite a bit, but maybe it's not yet down to zero?

I'd be very surprised if Nimda is still around (same goes for Code Red).

Plenty of other junk to see though.  :-)
