==Phrack Magazine== Volume Four, Issue Forty-Two, File 1 of 14 Issue 42 Index ___________________ P H R A C K 4 2 March 1, 1993 ___________________ ~ Happy Anniversary Bill Cook & Tim Foley, we love you both! ~ Here it is. Amidst all the fanfare and hoopla, Phrack 42 leaps from your electronic mail box to infect your very soul. It was just a few short years ago on this day that one of the greatest abuses of governmental authority took place in the happy little town of Austin, Texas. This issue marks the three year anniversary of these raids and a hearty hello goes out to Bellcore, The United States Secret Service, and the US District Attorney's Office. As many of you have read previously, or otherwise heard through the electronic grapevines, Dispater is no longer editor of Phrack. Your new editor, as I was most recently referred to so lovingly by my long-time friend John Lee on the alt.cyberpunk Usenet group: "the long hair and heavy metal beer drinking Texan that Bruce Sterling finds so .. ahem.. 'attractive'." In case you don't get the joke, my name is Erikb, and I'm a hacker. There are a few very distinct differences beginning with this issue of Phrack. First and foremost, Phrack is now registered with the Library of Congress, and has its own ISSN. Yes, boys and girls, you can go to Washington, D.C. and look it up. This adds a new era of legitimacy to Phrack in that with such a registration, Phrack should never again face any legal challenge that would bypass any paper based magazine. After much deliberation, I have concluded that Phrack will no longer provide the world's anti-hacker corporate and governmental types (IE: THE MAN) such valuable information for free. This will of course have absolutely no effect on YOU, the hackers of the world. Phrack has always been, and will always continue to be yours to copy and distribute amongst yourselves without limitation, as long as the files retain unchanged and intact. Entities who register their subscriptions to Phrack will be providing valuable demographic information to Phrack and its readers on exactly who outside our community actually takes an active interest in us. Yes, it will also generate some income. The proceeds of all monies earned by Phrack will be used to actually compensate contributors for articles of interest, and most importantly, help a certain person pay off the debt incurred by the twist of fate dealt him through his involvement with this publication in the past. I have no interest in making any money off of Phrack, as if I were to show a profit, I would have to contribute to Tim Foley's expense account via the IRS and I have absolutely no desire to fund his antics further than I am already forced to. To keep things honest, any information about the financial affairs of Phrack will be made available to anyone who cares to write and ask. Thus, we can all see if "THE MAN" is truly as ethical as he would have us believe, especially since our rate will be considerably less than many magazines (or military screwdrivers). Now, pertaining to "THE MAN." Phrack does not care for you and the way you secretly read and profit from Phrack and then use the information contained within its files to oppress its publishers, contributors and readers. Henceforth, anyone involved with any ties to a computer profession for any corporation, the military or the federal government, any person with any ties for any telecommunications company, network service provider or interconnect carrier, any person with any ties to any law enforcement body, federal, state or otherwise, any elected officials, attorneys, accountants or computer consultants of any kind must register your subscription immediately. If you are unsure of your status with this regard, please contact us. We are going to be VERY liberal about "special dispensations" since it is not our intention to screw anyone out of a subscription. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION Corporate/Institutional/Government: If you are a business, institution or government agency, or otherwise employed by, contracted to or providing any consultation relating to computers, telecommunications or security of any kind to such an entity, this information pertains to you.

Individual User: If you are an individual end user whose use is not on behalf of a business, organization or government agency, you may read and possess copies of Phrack Magazine free of charge. You may also distribute this magazine freely to any other such hobbyist or computer service provided for similar hobbyists. If you are unsure of your qualifications as an individual user, please contact us as we do not wish to withhold Phrack from anyone whose occupations are not in conflict with our readership. _______________________________________________________________ Phrack Magazine corporate/institutional/government agreement Notice to users ("Company"): READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL AGREEMENT.

This agreement authorizes Company to use and possess the number of copies described in the confirmation letter from Phrack Magazine and for which Company has paid Phrack Magazine the negotiated agreement fee. If the confirmation letter from Phrack Magazine indicates that Company's agreement is "Corporate-Wide", this agreement will be deemed to cover copies duplicated and distributed by Company for use by any additional employees of Company during the Term, at no additional charge. This agreement will remain in effect for one year from the date of the confirmation letter from Phrack Magazine authorizing such continued use or such other period as is stated in the confirmation letter (the "Term"). If Company does not obtain a confirmation letter and pay the applicable agreement fee, Company is in violation of applicable US Copyright laws.

Company further acknowledges that full ownership rights to the Magazine will remain the exclusive property of Phrack Magazine and Company will not acquire any rights to the Magazine except as expressly set forth in this agreement. Company agrees that any copies of the Magazine made by Company will contain the same proprietary notices which appear in this document.

In no event shall Phrack Magazine be liable for consequential, incidental or indirect damages of any kind arising out of the delivery, performance or use of the information contained within the copy of this magazine, even if Phrack Magazine has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will Phrack Magazine's liability for any claim, whether in contract, tort, or any other theory of liability, exceed the agreement fee paid by Company. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas as they are applied to agreements to be entered into and to be performed entirely within Texas. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed. This Agreement together with any Phrack Magazine confirmation letter constitute the entire agreement between Company and Phrack Magazine which supersedes any prior agreement, including any prior agreement from Phrack Magazine, or understanding, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to all orders submitted to Phrack Magazine and shall supersede any different or additional terms on purchase orders from Company. _________________________________________________________________ REGISTRATION INFORMATION REQUEST FORM We have approximately __________ users. We desire Phrack Magazine distributed by (Choose one): Electronic Mail: _________ Hard Copy: _________ Diskette: _________ (Include size & computer format) Name:_______________________________ Dept:____________________ Company:_______________________________________________________ Address:_______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ City/State/Province:___________________________________________ Country/Postal Code:___________________________________________ Telephone:____________________ Fax:__________________________ Send to: Phrack Magazine 603 W. 13th #1A-278 Austin, TX 78701 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- As many of you can imagine, this will be very hard to enforce. This is not our main concern, as people who choose to ignore this stipulation are in direct violation of applicable US Copyright laws and therefore are just as unethical and guilty as they have always claimed we are. It would be an ironic turn of events should the FBI actually have to conduct raids against companies like Bellcore for harboring illegal copies of Phrack Magazine. If, in your travels, you happen to see such an occurrence, feel free to let us know. :) Enjoy the magazine. It is for and by the hacking community. Period.
