Having not had access to a DEC mainframe and ACSnet for a year or so, I've lost track of what was happening with the Hepnet/Wank worm that had been reported to be screaming around mainframe nets. Can anyone update me on what has happened to that worm?? Andrew Mckendrick [Ed. Two versions of WANK were seen on SPAN and other DECNET networks in October 1989. Both versions seemed to run their course within a couple of days. CERT put out an advisory (filename CA-89:04.decnet.wank.worm) on October 17, 1989 - available by anonymous FTP on cert.sei.cmu.edu in pub/cert_advisories. The advisory provides an analysis of the WANK worms.] - --- LED ST 0.10 * Origin: 520StE... Is Modula-2 wirth it?. (3:681/854.3)
