The Morris Internet Worm
source code

This disk contains the complete source code of the Morris Internet
worm program. This tiny, 99-line program brought large pieces of
the Internet to a standstill on November 2nd, 1988.

The worm was the first of many intrusive programs that use the
Internet to spread.
