- The CRYPT NEWSLETTER database is now available as a hypertext
- tool. We've collected all the Crypt Newsletters from the
- magazine's initial publication in 1992 to the present and
- reworked them into a linked, keyworded, annotated hypertext
- database.
-
- The database contains not only the best of Crypt Newsletter but
- also a great deal of additional material and notes never published
- before. Where appropriate, additions have also been made to old
- issues and articles to provide current perspective and background.
-
- The database also contains a keyworded glossary and extensive
- subject index spanning the length and breadth of the newsletter.
-
- In the database you'll find comprehensive stories, tutorials
- and news on:
-
- √ the computer virus underground and virus-writers
-
- √ the anti-virus industry
-
- √ on-line culture and sociology
-
- √ the secret government within the military industrial complex
-
- √ anti-virus software reviews
-
- √ book reviews of current titles in security
-
- √ annals of computer crime & computer virus spread
-
- √ virus descriptions and history
-
- √ walkthrough simulations, imagery and displays from computer
- viruses and the legendary virus-making software toolkits
-
- √ discussion of legal issues with regard to computer viruses and
- related computer crime
-
- √ review of the mainstream media: the shams and scams reported as
- real news. Take a clear-eyed, skeptic's look at the information
- highway!
-
- And there's much more - five books worth of material - all
- delivered in the acerbic, to-the-point style used by the Crypt
- Newsletter. Take a look at the issues and controversial topics
- in cyberspace on your terms, without fear of being bitten or
- molested by your neighborhood cyberpest.
-
- The Crypt Newsletter database is also extensible. Future
- hypertext issues can easily be copied to the database's
- directory on your home computer and be seamlessly integrated
- into the collection.
-
- The Crypt Newsletter hypertext database can be purchased
- for $30. Comprehensive topic listing included in INDEX.TXT
- file. Reference enclosed order form, please.

- A little about the author . . .
- *******************************
-
- George Smith, Ph.D., aka Urnst Kouch, lives in southern
- California where he writes and edits the Crypt Newsletter.
- In 1991 he won a journalism fellowship jointly sponsored by
- New York University's Center for War, Peace and the Newsmedia
- and the Knight Center at the University of Maryland for
- newspaper articles "on the nuts and bolts of nuclear
- proliferation." Since then he has written on science and
- technology, specializing in the computer underground,
- computer crime and viruses for Newsday, American Journalism
- Review and others. His first book, "The Virus Creation Labs,"
- was published by American Eagle in early 1995. Secure Computing
- called it "informative and stunningly incisive . . ."; author
- Barbara Ehrenreich says "George C. Smith is one of those very
- rare people who can see through media hype and hi-tech hi-jinks
- with equal clarity. We're lucky to have him . . . "
