From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Core Wars n.   A game between `assembler' programs in a machine
   or machine simulator, where the objective is to kill your opponent's
   program by overwriting it.   Popularized in the 1980s by A. K.
   Dewdney's column in "Scientific American" magazine, but described in
   "Software Practice And Experience" a decade earlier.   The game was
   actually devised and played by Victor Vyssotsky, Robert Morris Sr.,
   and Doug McIlroy in the early 1960s (Dennis Ritchie is sometimes
   incorrectly cited as a co-author, but was not involved).   Their
   original game was called `Darwin' and ran on a IBM 7090 at Bell
   Labs.   See {core}.   For information on the modern game, do a web
   search for the `rec.games.corewar FAQ' or surf to the King Of The
   Hill (http://www.koth.org) site.
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   carrier scanner
  
      (Or "wardialer") A program which uses a {modem} to
      dial a series of phone numbers (say, from 770-0000 to
      770-9999), and keeps a log of what phone numbers answer with a
      modem {carrier}.   The results of such a search were generally
      used by people looking to engage in {random} mischief in
      {random} machines.
  
      Since the 1980s, wardialers have generally fallen into disuse,
      partly because of easily available "{caller ID}" technology,
      partly because fax machines are now in wide use and would
      often be logged as a {carrier} by a wardialer, and partly
      because there are so many new and more interesting venues for
      computerised mischief these days.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
