HiR 6 Informative Resources
By:
Axon & Asmodian X
Useful URL's:
o FTPSearch (http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no)
Ftpsearch is a great internet resource to use. It is extremely
flexible, and makes no sacrifices when it comes to power. If you
have ever used the "advanced mode" of most internet search engines
(Like Yahoo or Excite), then this page will look fairly mundane.
for others, it's kind of confusing at first, but it eventually
makes sense. Axon showed this gem to Asmodian X one day, and he's
used some of axon's ideas blended with quite a few of his own, and
wrote an article that will appear later in this issue. It's a
must-read.
o HTML edition of The New Hackers Dictionary
(http://www.earthspace.net/jargon/)
If any of you have ever read "The New Hackers Dictionary", it is
a book that is taken up mostly by entries of the "Hacker Jargon
File", but also contained within its pages is a healthy amount
of information that would help anyone better understand hackers
(such as the "Portrait of J. Random Hacker", and some of the
grammar usage notes). This is a site containing the ENTIRE book
in HTML format, and you can jump to any part of it through the
table of contents. (Also if you have a favorite word in the
jargon section, each word has a tag, so you can link to a single
word, not just the page of words starting with "H"). Very good!
Books worth reading:
o The Windows 95 Registry: A Survival Guide
o ISBN:1-55828-494-X
o Author: John Woram (Also a Senior Contributing Editor For
Windows Magazine).
o Published Sept. '96.
o Publisher: MIS Press
o Official Book URL: http://www.mispress.com/Win95Registry.htm
o Pages: 350
o Price: Around 25 bucks.
o Overview:
This is THE book to read if you are at all interested in the
mysterious Registry. The information inside can bring a novice
up to speed in no time, and give the power-user (that's me) an-
other fun toy to mess with. This book brings to light many
helpful registry issues such as security, user preferences, and
other handy stuff. This book was one of 5 books read in order
to prepare Axon to write the windows 95 article (later in this
issue). Not only was it the best of the 5, it was good enough
for Axon to BUY (instead of hanging out in a bookstore for hours
on end, reading it and putting it back, like some books). This
book is not recommended reading for newbies, though. Some of
the stunts they pull require some decent (intimate?) knowledge
of how windows handles things...
