  • A fun bit of early internet history concerns a famous computer worm launched by Robert Morris in 1988. While the intent of the worm was to map the internet, its effect was that theentire early internet had to be taken offline and repaired-​something that would be impossible or at least incredibly inconvenient today. Robert Morris was convicted of a computer crime…​ but is also now a tenured professor of computer science at MIT.
    Credits: Talking: Geoffrey Challen (Assistant Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo). Producing: Greg Bunyea (Undergraduate, Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo).
    Part of the www.internet-c... online internet course. A blue Systems Research Group (blue.cse.buffa...) production.

    I always thought the Morris worm was a naive girl that wanted to just explore the Internet

    A reasonable thing. All it had to do was build the map in a central file, of user interfaces encountered, and build a phonebook.

    @5:04 This has happened again with the slammer, nimda, codered, etc worms which basically tried to infect every IP address in existence and infected most of them.

    I'm doing a research paper on the Morris Worm. Can you please tell me why would Morris write the piece of code that allowed 1/7 copies to infect even though the machine is already infected? It's quite urgent, so if anyone knows I'd really be grateful!
    Source code of that part is appreciated too since I can't seem to find it even though I've seen the full source code.

      Rendoir the worm would designate itself immortal. An immortal worm would not do any checks

      There are many overviews of the virus which already explain this -including this video. But I'll put the reason here, Morris was concerned that admins would combat the virus by having target machines return a false positive result.
      The problem was that he did not realise how quickly the virus would spread and that this check would lead to multiple instances of the virus running on computers
