Robert Tappan Morris and the Internet Worm

Robert Tappan Morris claims he only wanted to measure the size of the Internet, but he didn’t count on the speed and power of his program.

He wrote a virus program that would spread to other computers. He made the program smart; before it infected a new system, it would actually check and see if there was already an active copy running there.

Unfortunately, at the same time, he made it stupid. It would be really easy to prevent the spread of the program just by telling all of the computers on the network to always answer “yes” when the virus checked. So, Morris programmed it to install another copy of itself fourteen percent of the time.

The main part of the program was designed to hack into known Unix weaknesses, like the Finger bug and Sendmail.

On November 2, 1998, Morris released his creation from a computer at MIT (to hide the fact that the virus was created at Cornell). Within hours, the Internet had slowed to a crawl.

Morris hadn’t counted on the speed of the program. Fourteen percent is a small number in human terms, but a huge number in microseconds. Infected computers were spending every available bit of power into hunting for more computers to infect. Some estimates say that the worm hit over six thousand computers, and the government claims damages of at least ten million dollars.

The Internet Worm was quite probably the first computer virus to spread across the Internet, and the first one noticed by the mainstream. It forced many computer experts to rethink computer security and the nature of the Internet, and we’re still learning the same lessons today.

Robert Tappan Morris was sentenced to probation and a fine, and today he is an associate professor at MIT, the college he released the Internet Worm from.

Ten Breakthrough Marketing Ideas

1. Create a directory of web sites on a specific
topic. Give people the option of adding the
directory to their web site by linking to it. Put
your business advertisement at the top of the
director's home page. This technique will get lots
of people to linkto your web site and give you
free advertising.


2. Do you have a product or service that doesn't
sell good? Offer it as a free bonus for someone
else's product or service. Get free advertising by
placing your web site or business ad on the
product or in the product package.


3. Trade autoresponder ads with other businesses.
If both of you send out information with auto-
responders just exchange a small classified ad
to put at the bottom or top of each other's
autoresponder message.


4. Start a free tip line. Offer a free daily, weekly,
or monthly tip recorded on your voice mail. The
tips should be related to your business. Include
your ad for your web site or business at the
beginning or end of your message.


5. Exchange content with other web sites and
ezines. You could trade articles, top ten lists, etc.
Both parties could include a resource box at the
end of the content.


6. Offer to insert ads into your product package
for other businesses. Just ask, in return that they
do the same for your business. You should only
trade insert ads with businesses that have the
same target audience.


7. Offer a free daily class in your web site's chat
room. The class should be related to the subject
of your business or web site. This will get people
to visit your web site everyday.


8. Do you have a product that doesn't sell good?
Offer it as a free bonus for another businesses
product or service. You'll get free advertising by
placing your web site or business ad on the free
bonus.

same product or service all over your web site.
One ad may hit their hot button to buy more than
another ad.


10. Publish your e-zine in e-book format. You
could offer a larger number of articles per issue.

ezine.Your advertising revenue would increase
