  The Morris worm was one of the first worms spread via the internet. It was
spread on November 2, 1988, and changed how computer security was viewed by
computer professionals as well as general public. Since its inception the
Morris worm has been studied extensively from the security point of view and is
still a point of interest. This paper summarizes the effects, impacts, and
lessons learned from the episode. There are other copies of this paper present.
However, I recommend using the arXiv version only.
