worm
(From "Tapeworm" in John Brunner's
novel "The Shockwave Rider", via XEROX PARC) A program that
propagates itself over a network, reproducing itself as it
goes. Compare virus. Nowadays the term has negative
connotations, as it is assumed that only crackers write
worms.
Perhaps the best-known example was the Great Worm.
Compare Trojan horse.

WORM
(WORM) Any type of storage medium to which data can
be written to only a single time, but can be read from any
number of times. Typically this is an optical disk whose
surface is permanently etched using a laser in order to record
information. WORM media have a significantly longer shelf
life than magnetic media and thus are used when data must be
preserved for a long time.
