I meant a worm was a living thing that didn't need air but bytes to live. I thought that was pretty clear with the Antoine Dudson start and the worm eating stuff finish.

#100 to #23 - anon (02/23/2015) [-]
Actually checking would be incredibly safe. At this point, and unlike back when this malware was dangerous, we've definitely made great strides in security. That code won't even function on a modern OS anyways I'd bet, things have completely changed fundamentally on the kernal level in the last 3 decades. If you wanted to you could pop that bitch in on a computer, open up the source code (since it's probably not obfuscated), and oggle over it. If you wanted to anyways. The floppy disk and the worm are completely harmless now, it's just representative of a time when it wasn't.

you do if you don't work there. and people who don't work there are the people that would be interested to know if anything is on the disk since the custodians probably know already.

Even if you don't work there, you're a pretty ****** criminal if your plan is 'break glass case and take disk.' Those class cases usually lift right off unless they're protecting something incredibly precious--of which this is not. It's not like it's the ORIGINAL floppy disk that held the worm, it's literally just a random floppy disk with a worm that is easy to get a hold of. Not to mention why would your brain jump to 'theft' immediately rather than 'authorized person wants to see if there's still data on the disk'?

And why would random custodians know whether or not there's data on the disk?

You've got a very strange world perception.

Because you said that 'nobody would check because who would go through the trouble of breaking a glass case.' The fact that you jumped to violent theft and didn't consider any of a dozen other ways--legal or otherwise--that someone might acquire the disk is what is strange about your world perception.

No. If you weren't getting incredibly defensive about it, then I would chalk it up to happenstance. But you are, and are now making stuff up to backpedal out of it, so I seem to have struck a nerve.

You're responding a lot about it for someone who honestly doesn't care.

And what opinion? There's no opinion here. Unless you think it's an 'opinion' that there are other ways to get the disk rather than stealing it? Not sure what 'opinion' you're supposed to validate.

so the Council of Elders thought. However, as time passed the Memory of the Worm became nothing more than a story that parents would tell their children to make them behave. All had forgotten that the Worm was once real. No one heeded the signs when the stranger came up with a new "invention' called the Doppy Flisk, effectively fooling everyone into using the ancient drives, disguised as modern technology, and thus unleashing the Chaos of the Worm once again. The stranger believed he could control and wield the Dark Worm as his slave; little did he know that the Worm share his Dark Power with no one. Only one chosen hero could save them now...

Everyone is treating it like a grave danger sealed away without realizing that it's one of the first computer worms. It's worth is just historical, I would say 99,9% of nowadays anti-malware programs will catch it without problems instantly. We've learned a lot since the 80s.

The Morris Worm would be completely ineffective against any modern machine. I don't even think it can run on anything that isn't a VAX, besides, it used RSH which is no longer used due to security concerns.

It's not "trapped" on the floppy, either. It's available for free download.
