- "Countdown to SummerCon '92"
-
- "Get ready for the biggest and best computer
- hacker PARTY conference of the year!"
-
- Phrack Inc. is proud to be the official sponsor of the 6th Annual SummerCon,
- but this year is something different.
-
- The date and location for this year's Summer Conference are for those with a
- need to know. SummerCon is a private party, its for our friends, and its our
- business and nobody elses'. Events from our past have made it necessary to
- keep the important specifics under wraps, so our theme this year is privacy.
-
- Would be informants, ignorant and biased security professionals, and little
- malicious rodent hackers can forget about receiving an invitation. We are
- making a list and checking it twice. If you would like to receive an
- invitation and details about SummerCon then send mail to
- "summer@stormking.com".
-
- Meanwhile, back at Phrack...
-
- It appears that Phrack is getting VERY popular. At last count we had well over
- 775 people directly subscribed to the Phrack Mailing List. However, some
- people aren't overjoyed at Phrack's popularity. In recent postings to EFF
- newsgroups, complaints have been lodged that people downloading Phrack from
- "ftp.eff.org" account for more than 1/3 of all ftp traffic on that site. Some
- people at EFF have even suggested that Phrack be removed completely from their
- system. When the high and mighty defenders of Knight Lightning's First
- Amendment rights begin to balk, what does that say to the community at large
- about EFF and their agenda?
-
- In this issue of Phrack we feature "Cellular Telephony" by Brian Oblivion!
- Brian tells us to expect more files on this topic from him in the near future,
- but for now we can start with this very substantial taste. Additionally, this
- issue will wrap up Black Kat's 3-part series on VAX/VMS and Dispater's 2-part
- defense manual for police radar. Rambone is back with his second file on the
- Pirate community and Datastream Cowboy picks up where Taran King left off in
- Phrack 30 with Network Miscellany. And if that wasn't enough, Mycroft brings
- us a file on Wide Area Information Services (WAIS). Subtitled "How Do I Use It
- and Why Should I Care?" It tells you about the service in general and gives
- directions for using WAIS to review Phrack.
-
- Another spotlight file in this issue is "Standing Up To Fight The Bells."
- Knight Lightning brings forth a message and a warning about what is happening
- right now in the Congress and Senate of the United States, where the Bell
- Operating Companies are seeking to hold on to yet another monopoly to control.
- Be prepared to act and act fast or live forever with the consequences -- the
- future of information services controlled by Ma Bell.
-
- And finally the full details of Computers, Freedom, & Privacy II appear both in
- a special file by Max Nomad and in two smaller articles in Phrack World News
- (part 3).
-
- We're back and we're Phrack. Enjoy reading it because we enjoy writing it!
