- Phrack is BACK! Welcome to the first issue of Phrack Volume Four! This issue
- we feature "Exploring Info-America" by The Omega and White Knight. Other
- articles of note include TWO articles by Count Zero, Black Kat's latest
- installment on his VAX/VMS series, and information on VOS by Dr. No-Good!
- Also, starting this issue, we introduce Pirate's Cove by Rambone. Its a new
- regular column about the pirate community. Finally, a very special thanks goes
- out the the newest member of the Phrack Staff, Spirit Walker for the help with
- assembling this issue.
-
- There is a little surprise in Phrack Loopback. Our old pal THE DICTATOR has
- been corresponding with Knight Lightning and myself over the nets. Yes, you
- heard right! Dale Drew, who played a key role in busting people during
- OPERATION SUN-DEVIL and spying on our friends at SummerCon '88 is back and
- believe it or not... he wants Phrack! And speaking of Operation Sun-Devil,
- the federal government convicted their first defendant -- details in Phrack
- World News (Part 2).
-
- Phrack World News (Part 3) contains everything you need to know about how
- the Regional Bell Operating Companies feel about our private hobby bulletin
- boards and next issue we will have information about what YOU can do about it!
- Also, next issue watch for preliminary details for SummerCon '92!!! Will
- ESP be there again?
-
- Before the rumor mill starts churning again, I will clarify what is happening
- with Phrack management. Crimson Death has decided to retire from Phrack and
- start working on his new UNIX based BBS, CyberWaste! If you are interested in
- keeping in touch with Crimson Death, you may do so by writing:
- cdeath@GNU.AI.MIT.EDU for the time being. However, keep an eye out for the
- CyberWaste hostname; @DEMONSEED.COM!
-
- Well that's it for now. If you are going to the Second Conference on
- Computers, Freedom, & Privacy (a/k/a CFP-2) in Washington, D.C. (March 18-20,
- 1992), Knight Lightning and I will see you there!
