Hiya all, I'm trying to get more info on the whole affair. Is there an ftp site where I could get a copy of Cornell's report on this incident, and maybe some more details on how the worm worked? Really, now - this is a serious request; I have to fill 20 pages with this stuff :) Thanks in advance, Damian -- Damian R.

One of them is "The Cukoos Egg" by Clifford Stall. While most of this book deals with his chasing after a hacker, towards the end of the book is a section that deals with RTM and his worm. The is related from the standpoint of Cliff's involvement with combating the worm, as I recall. Another book that's out is called "Cyberpunk" (I don't remember the subtitle). This book has recounts of 4 or 5 hacker stories. One of them deals with RTM, and as I recall that section is called "RTM"! Even if these books don't have specifically what you're looking for, they make good reading. If you find out about any other books on the hacking/cracking/RTM subject, I'd be interested in finding out.
