Phrack Magazine's Latest Issue

Phrack is back believe it or not with its latest Issue 64 released two days ago. The style is still so old-school, so authentic it makes you remember extraordinary Web 1.0 experiences. Articles of notice I went through so far : "A brief history of the Underground scene" ; "Blind TCP/IP hijacking is still alive" ; and "The art of Exploitation: come back on an exploit". Dazzling already :

"In the last decade, Phrack took a very annoying industry-oriented editorial policy and the original spirit was in our opinion not respected. The good old school spirit as we like had somehow disappeared from the process of creating the magazine. That is why the underground got split with a major dispute, as some part of the scene was unhappy with this new way of publishing. We clearly needed to bring together again all the relevant parties around the spirit of hacking and the values that make the Underground. The Underground is neither about making the industry richer by publishing exploits or 0day information, nor distributing hacklogs of whitehats on the Internet, but to go further the limits of technology ever and ever, in a big wave of learning and sharing with the people ready to embrace it. This is not our war to fight peoples doing this for money but we have to clearly show our difference."
