A quick search shows:

- a github repo containing "the original, de-compiled source code for the Morris Worm" - see https://github.com/agiacalone/morris-worm-malware

- a high level report about the worm - see https://www.ee.torontomu.ca/~elf/hack/internet-worm.html

    I strongly suspect 1998 was a typo by OP and he was actually pointing out the discrepancy between 2 Nov and 4 Nov WRT “this day”.

    However the article has been updated so only the HN title has this flaw.
