[Full-disclosure] 18th anniversary of Internet worm a.k.a. Morris worm



Probably nobody else (besides Gene Spafford) is counting but here it goes.

This message is just to remind nostalgic guys about 18th anniversary of
Internet worm.
Exactly 18 years ago the concept of buffer overflows and worms were
brought to the public and the internet saw its first great panic.

Check out www.morrisworm.com for historical documents and stuff related
to the worm. Note this website is a modified version of the old worm.net
site, released to celebrate worm's 10th anniversary.

And today we celebrate 18 years of Eugene Spafford off the radar. Please
help Spaf get back to the media again releasing another worm :)
