Forgotten Weapons (Computer Worms)
There will be a negative side to all things in the world. Virus is one of the most important issues in the age of technology. The age of programmers has begun since Ada Augusta Lovelace wrote the first program. Although there are many good programs that can be used, computer viruses are programs that are designed to do some wrong things without a trace. In it you can see the little things about the Basic Self replicate Virus called Computer Worm.
Computer Warm is a complete type of malware. It doubles itself and spreads to other computers. These are usually spread over the Internet. It uses the host computer as its host and scans and attacks other computers. In the short term these become more self-replicating and attacking making control difficult.
The word worm was first used in 1975 in John Brunner’s novel "The Shock Wave Rider". Then on November 2, 1988, Robert Tappan Morris, a Cornell University Computer Science graduate, activated a computer worm called the "Morris Worm" and disrupted many computers. It is said that one tenth of the computers connected to the Internet were attacked at that time. It is estimated to cost $ 200 to $ 53,000 to remove the worm. His work created the CERT and Phage Mailing list. He was the first person to be convicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. The floppy disk containing the source code of the Morris worm is still preserved in the Computer History Museum.
Some worms are created to install payload, some worms to activate backdoor, send spam and do DoS Attack.
You may be wondering what to talk about Worm these days. No matter how much technology advances, some antiviruses will not be able to detect certain types of worms. So knowing about the worm will not diminish anything.
Prevention is Better than cure.
I shared a sample worm like Program here.. if you wish please check that also!!
