Well, back then the internet was a much more
open, trusting environment.
And even back then, _proper_ system setup safeguards (limiting access to
rsh/rlogin, enforcing strong passwords, ...) could have severly limited
the spread of the worm.
C: Not to mention that probably every internet host on planet earth was running UNIX.
No. There were plenty of other systems, among them VAXen with VMS and
others. ??? Was the
worm supposed to attack Commie 64s? Coco's? Those vile Timex Sinclairs?
If you'd bothered to read a bit, you'd know the anser. Kind regards,
Alex.
PS: Fix your quoting, having to repair it is annoying.
