The Morris Worm marks a pivotal event in the history of cybersecurity and largely acted as an impetus for legitimizing the formal field of cybersecurity as we know it today. The worm was released over 25 years ago by Robert Morris Junior who, at the time, was a graduate student at Cornell University. The evidence seems to suggest that Morris did not have malevolent intentions, but rather that it was an experiment gone awry. The Morris Worm spread from system to system across the Internet, which in 1987 comprised about 60,000 machines. The mechanisms by which the worm spread included the exploitation of security shortcomings in the Unix Finger program, the Sendmail program, and the Unix utilities rsh as well as rexec. In this video, which is the first in a multi-part series, Sourcefire's Chief Scientist, Zulfikar Ramzan, gives an overview of the Morris Worm. In subsequent videos, Zulfikar dives into more detail regarding the worm's inner workings.

An interesting look at computer viruses from the popular program The Computer Chronicles from 1989. Some viruses discussed include the Morris Worm, Jerusalem, and a few Macintosh viruses, like Scores.
Also examined are a number of antivirus products from the time, and their effectiveness as well as their approaches towards stopping the growing virus menace.
They also test a DOS virus on camera. It's like looking at my channel 20 years ago. I figured some of you might enjoy looking back at the history of the antivirus industry, as well as thoughts and opinions from affected users when viruses were still a brand new threat.

As part of its propagation mechanisms, the Morris Worm attempted to determine the passwords of the users on the system it had just compromised. Specifically, the Morris Worm tried to employ a password dictionary attack.

The Morris Worm leveraged several security shortcomings on Unix systems -- these included weaknesses in fingerd, rsh / rexec, and sendmail. This video, by Sourcefire Chief Scientist Zulfikar Ramzan, focuses on the exploitation of the fingerd vulnerability by the Morris Worm. The video is part of a multi-part series on the Morris Worm.

The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988 was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It is considered the first worm and was certainly the first to gain significant mainstream media attention. It also resulted in the first conviction in the US under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.
According to its creator, the Morris worm was not written to cause damage, but to gauge the size of the Internet. However, the worm was released from MIT to disguise the fact that the worm originally came from Cornell. Additionally, the Morris worm worked by exploiting known vulnerabilities in Unix sendmail, finger, and rsh/rexec, as well as weak passwords. Due to reliance on rsh (normally disabled on untrusted networks) it should not succeed on a recent, properly configured system.
A supposedly unintended consequence of the code, however, caused it to be more damaging: a computer could be infected multiple times and each additional process would slow the machine down, eventually to the point of being unusable. This would have the same effect as a fork bomb and crash the computer. The main body of the worm could only infect DEC VAX machines running 4BSD, and Sun-3 systems. A portable C "grappling hook" component of the worm was used to pull over (download) the main body, and the grappling hook could run on other systems, loading them down and making them peripheral victims.
