Hello\,

Does anyone know of a non-destructive, safe worm - one that doesn't do
anything but propagate and is easy to remove - that I can use for testing
in small networks?

There's no such thing, but there are things that come close.

You probably need to find another way of accomplishing what you want, but
'what you want' isn't exactly clear in your post

Are you intending to study the worm, or are you trying to test a network?
Sorry for the lack of clarity. Test the network. A mix of virtual machines
and hosts with various firewalls or lack thereof. I just want to see what
it gets through and what it doesn't. Nothing will be connected to any
public networks, so no risk to public bandwidth.

Thanks,
Mike
