Abstract
The helminthiasis (infestation with, or disease caused by parasitic worms) of the Internet was the result of a self-replicating program that infected VAX computers and SUN-3 workstations running the 4.2 and 4.3 Berkeley UNIX code. The worm disrupted the operations of computers by accessing known security loopholes in applications closely associated with the operating system. Despite system administrators' efforts to eliminate the program, the infection continued to attack and spread to other sites across the United States.
