The Morris Worm, released on November 2, 1988, was an intellectual experiment by Robert Tappan Morris. The C program was designed to spread quietly across Unix systems. A flaw in its replication logic caused it to infect machines repeatedly, overloading roughly 10% of the connected internet. It wasn’t meant to cause damage, but the fallout created the first computer emergency response team (CERT) and established that the internet was a system that could be used against itself. This code snippet is from the replication routine. In plain English: crack some passwords, spawn a copy of yourself and kill the parent, try to spread to new hosts, sleep, repeat. Forever.
