Default Worm for Testing Purposes?

P.S.

You may be right that there is no such thing. I thought I might find one on
a security website, but quite a bit of searching before I posted here turned
up zilch. I guess people fear such a thing would be turned to a destructive
purposes - as some people here seemed to assume. And perhaps too that
someone using it to test their own setup would not know enough to pull the
cord to the internet.

Hello\,

Does anyone know of a non-destructive, safe worm - one that doesn't do
anything but propagate and is easy to remove - that I can use for testing
in small networks?


There's no such thing, but there are things that come close.

You probably need to find another way of accomplishing what you want, but
'what you want' isn't exactly clear in your post

Are you intending to study the worm, or are you trying to test a network?
