This is the first time this has Ever happened from what i virus break in of computers May have improved Security Syracuse . Not in a twist in the trial of the former Cornell University graduate student accused of crippling a nationwide computer network a prosecution witness testified that the rogue program the defendant released resulted in improved Security on his computer systems. Thomas a. Guidoboni. The lawyer for the defendant Robert Tappan Morris 25, said in his opening statement in Federal court that he planned to establish that his client is a Bright Man dedicated to the Field of computer Security. But the lawyer said Morris had made a critical error in the program called a virus or worm that was intended As a harmless exercise. While Morris has pleaded not guilty Guidoboni has not disputed that the defendant was the person who wrote the program released in the network in november 1988. But he contends that by doing so Morris heightened Secu Rity awareness in the commuter Industry. In Cross Cramin Nalion of Keith Bostic a computer Programmer at the University of California at Berkeley Guidoboni asked whether moms program alerted com Puter scientists to Security flaws in two programs that Are part of the unix operating system or master program called san email and Finger. San email written by a Berkeley Programmer allows the Transfer of electronic mail from machine to machine. The Finger program allows the user to obtain information about other users on a network. After the worm program alerted computer program mers to the Security holes in the two programs both Send mail and Finger were immediately fixed. As a result of the worm program Guidoboni asked was t the Send mail program made a Little better and the same with the Finger program yes Bostic responded. Bostic also said that in Otto i Ber 1988, Morris discovered a dangerous Security flaw in another aspect of unix and brought it to com Puter scientists attention. Experts who have studied the rogue program say it was designed to exploit existing flaws in the unix operating system to gain entry into computers in the internet system i to steal passwords and copy itself secretly and slowly onto network computers while evading detection. Instead a programming error Morris made the program wildly duplicate itself halting thousands of computers within a few hours of its release on nov. 2. 1988. There Are approximately 150.000 computers on inter net which has data ranging from academic and corporate research to non classified military work. But because the program was designed to attack just two types of computers it affected Only about 2,500 to 6,000 machines
