- START the fireworks...
- ALERT the mass media...
- CUE up the Axel-F Beverley Hills Cop music...
- AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE NOTIFY MITCH KABAY...!
-
- Phrack 50 is here.
-
- To celebrate this landmark event, for a limited time, we are offering *all*
- Phrack issues (including this one) at a special "WE-MUST-BE-OUT-OF-OUR-MINDS"
- rate of HALF-PRICE!! That's right! Now you can enjoy Phrack for 50% off
- the standard price of free! Now you can enjoy your favorite electronic
- zine and still have enough money left over to get those breast implants!

- It seems, in recent months, the mass media has finally caught onto what we
- have known all along, computer security _IS_ in fact important. Barely a
- week goes by that a new vulnerability of some sort doesn't pop up on CNN.
- But the one thing people still don't seem to fathom is that _WE_ are the
- ones that care about security the most... We aren't the ones that the
- corporations and governments should worry about... We are not the enemy.
-
- Phrack is often described by the mass media as an 'Underground Hacker's Zine'
- run by `irresponsible` youths. Compare Phrack's distribution with that of
- the security publications that charge just enough money to keep students
- and interested outsiders from reading it... Then decide who is
- `irresponsible`. Phrack is often criticized by professionals as giving away
- tools to people who aren't responsible enough to use them. The fact is, we
- are giving away tools to people who aren't rich enough to buy them.
-
- The parallels between Internet packet sniffing and phone wire tapping are
- enormous. The abuses of wire tapping by government agencies are well
- documented. Not so well documented, however, are similar abuses by these same
- agencies across key Internet access points. This is just another classic
- example of the Government trying to assert complete control. The Internet is,
- however, anarchistic by nature and dynamic by design. It resists all attempts
- at governing and all attempts at control.
-
- By providing a public compendium of the same knowledge, information and
- resources that all the money in the world can buy, we help ensure that the
- Internet will remain safe with the individual. Knowledge is not power.
- Knowledge is _empowerment_.

-
- This issue contains a great deal of C source code. Somewhere in the
- neighborhood of 5000 lines of C source. To facilitate painless extraction
- of the code and support files into an arbitrarily designated hierarchical
- directory structure and still maintaining readability while in `zine`
- format, we developed a custom extraction utility. (Good lord that was a
- long sentence...) Article 16 contains the source for extract.c, instructions
- for compilation and use can be found therein.
