On 15.Feb.'86 I asked for information and literature about so-called computer viruses (or worms or Trojan Horses). For those who are interested in the subject I picked up the references and names I found in the responses. Literature: ============ Fred Cohen "Computer Viruses - Theory and Experiments" University of Southern California, 31.Aug.'84 John F. Schoch, Jon Attupp "Notes on the Worms programs - some early experience with a distributed computation" Tech Report SSL-80-3, Xerox PARC, May '80 also: CACM 25:3, March '82 Proceedings of the 7th DoD/NBS Computer Security Conference 24-26 Sept.'84 --> Fred Cohen : "Computer Viruses" Computer Fraud & Security Bulletin (GB), vol.6, no.7, p.8-10, May '84 "Communications-security vulnerabilities" Patrick H.
