1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: worm n. [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 Robert T. Morris's Great Worm of 1988, a ?benign? one that got out of control and hogged hundreds of Suns and VAXen across the U.S. See also { cracker}, RTM, Trojan horse, ice.
