- You might want to check out two books that have been around for a while. One
- of them is "The Cukoos Egg" by Clifford Stall. While most of this book deals
- with his chasing after a hacker, towards the end of the book is a section that
- deals with RTM and his worm. The is related from the standpoint of Cliff's
- involvement with combating the worm, as I recall.
-
- Another book that's out is called "Cyberpunk" (I don't remember the subtitle).
- This book has recounts of 4 or 5 hacker stories. One of them deals with RTM,
- and as I recall that section is called "RTM"!
-
- Even if these books don't have specifically what you're looking for, they make
- good reading.
-
- If you find out about any other books on the hacking/cracking/RTM subject, I'd
- be interested in finding out.
-
- Hope this helps,
- -Bill
