Download the GSplayer first. The direct download will get you versions for all Windows and PPCs. While the other download lets you choose the program that抣l process your PPC. Unzip the downloaded files in your desktop. There are about two to three files in the unzipped file. Copy and paste the entire file in you Pocket PC. To make it look more organized, put it inside a personalized folder.

Robert Tappan Morris and the Internet Worm

Robert Tappan Morris claims he only wanted to measure the size of the Internet, but he didn抰 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 搚es?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抰 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抮e 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.
