    Hi, very interesting question, i had to scratch my head for a bit..lol, an look up old logs etc.

    Code Red- released 2001 performed attack on TCP port 80, it sent Emails to addresses preloaded into its code, the amount of mail slowed the internet down to a crawl, i think the main target at first was the White house.

    Nimda- released 2001,scaned for backdoors left open from previous Code Red infections, so I believe that it also would have tried to access TCP port 80 at first, though at later dates it may have evolved to different stratergies, i think from memory that Nimda was the first to spread by differing ways, I.E email, Server & Web pages.

    MSblasater- released 2003 exploited Microsoft DCOM remote procedure call (RPC), it attacked TCP port 135 at first then also TCP 139 - 445.
    This is the original MSblaster, later varients have evolved.

    I hope that this info helps.
