- ~ We've Had A Rest, We're Still The Best ~
-
- You've been waiting for this for a while and it's finally here. A lot has
- happened since the last issue. I guess I should start off with the most
- important thing as far as the administration of Phrack is concerned: Phrack 41
- is the last issue for which I will serve as editor.
-
- Why? Well for one, I was in a motorcycle wreck about a month ago and lost the
- use of my right arm for a while and, due to the related financial difficulties,
- I was forced to sell my computers and some other stuff.
-
- Secondly, due to my lack of being a rich boy and having access to a nice
- machine, I found it necessary to allow others to help me in putting out the
- past several issues and that has resulted in some things being released that I
- really wasn't happy with.
-
- However, don't get me wrong. I'm not gonna sit here and dis my friends just
- because we differ in opinion about some things. I think that the overall
- quality of the issues has been pretty good and anyone who says it's not can
- basically suck my dick, because I don't give a fuck about your opinion anyway.
-
- Thirdly, and the most important reason why I am resigning as editor of Phrack,
- is a general lack of desire on my part. I mean the whole reason I even got
- involved with doing this was because of hacking -- partly for curiosity and
- partly for being able to thumb my nose at the powers that be and other
- intellectual types that say, "You can't do/learn about that because we don't
- think blah blah blah." Like I'm supposed to give a fuck what anyone else
- thinks. The type of public service that I think hackers provide is not showing
- security holes to whomever has denied their existence, but to merely embarrass
- the hell out of those so-called computer security experts and other purveyors
- of snake oil. This is a service that is truly unappreciated and is what keeps
- me motivated. ANYWAY...if you wanna hear me rant some more, maybe I'll get to
- do my own Eleeeeet3 Pro-Phile in the future. Heh!
-
- But really, since my acquisition of Phrack, my play time has been hampered and
- consequently, I have started to become bored with it. It was great to meet a
- lot of cool people and I learned some things. It's now time for me to go back
- to doing what I like best. For anyone who's interested in corresponding, I'm
- focusing my time on radio communications, HAM radio, scanning, and cellular
- telephones. If you are interested in talking about these things to me or
- whatever, feel free to write me at dispater@stormking.com.
-
- Aside from all that, I feel that Phrack can be better. That's why issue 42
- will have a new editor and administrative staff. I'm not saying who, but you
- may be surprised. NO, it's not KL or TK either.
-
- And with that, I'm saying adios and, as Adam Grant said, "Don't get caught."
-
- Now onto the issue:
-
- In this issue's Loopback, Phrack responds to the numerous letters it has
- received over the past several months, including the return of Shit Kickin' Jim
- and a message from Rop, editor of Hack-Tic.
-
- The Racketeer (Rack of The Hellfire Club) continues his Network Miscellany
- column with plenty of new information about fake mail.
-
- Phrack Pro-Phile focuses on one of the hacking community's most mysterious
- figures: Supernigger. SN was somewhat involved with the infamous DPAK and has
- some words of wisdom to the eleets and other folks who enjoy boasting about
- their number of years in "the hacker scene."
