Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The self-reproducing mechanism of the Internet Worm which attacked the Internet on November 1988 is investigated. There are some reports that the worm is not so dangerous and the Internet trouble was caused by bugs of the program of the worm. However, no paper which describes that the worm works well without these bugs is published. Then, the authors develop a fixed worm and take attempt to simulate the self-reproducing mechanism of the worm. However, this approach fails because of other problems hidden in the worm. Finally, by revising the authors' discovered bugs, we obtain an innocent worm over single computer. The authors further modify the worm so that the simulation works well over multiple computers communicated with network.
