    Ok my point is proven.

    A worm is a piece of malware which replicates and propagates over the network. They can have a number of different purposes, but a worm is NOT specifically something which gives control over someone's computer (what you said). Typically they don't have this purpose and usually are made for destruction, DoS attacks, mass computer control, etc. They have more widespread effects and the attacker usually has no interaction with individual computers.

    Giving you the code for a worm would be entirely pointless. Worms work by exploiting weaknesses in systems. The weaknesses these old worms DID exploit would now be patched, so the worm would be useless. And I don't think any significant worms actually had the source released.

    You examine the code, learn how it works, and you then figure out how to exploit it. But you have to be a programming expert to do this, so forget about it.
