| "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! | |
