| Welcome to the special 40th Anniversary issue of Phrack Magazine! A month | |
| later, we are just barely recovering from the fun at the amazingly successful | |
| SummerCon '92. It was the largest turnout ever seen at a SummerCon and the | |
| full details can be found in a special report by Knight Lightning and myself | |
| with help from Holistic Hacker and Dr. Williams. | |
| Brian Oblivion, whose name is regularly seen in the pages of Phrack returns | |
| with part two of his file on Cellular Telephony (part one seen in Phrack 38). | |
| Also relating to telephones in this issue is "The Fine Art of Telephony" by | |
| Crimson Flash. This equally in depth and detailed file focuses of RC/MAC, | |
| FACS, and MARCH. | |
| Even though the arrogant bastards at Southwestern Bell and BT Tymnet boast | |
| about their great security, it appears that they had almost nothing to do with | |
| the tracking down and apprehension of the MOD in New York. As a few of us | |
| already know, MOD was brought in by hackers. Gee, imagine that. | |
| I'm not going to play politics and make judgments about this, instead I'll let | |
| you read all about it in Phrack World News, Part 2 and then you can draw your | |
| own conclusions. | |
| Since we're on the subject of Tymnet, I felt it appropriate <grin> to include | |
| 3 articles on the subject by Toucan Jones. A special "kissy, kissy" to Dale | |
| Drew (aka The Dictator aka Blind Faith aka Bartman) for his help and assistance | |
| in getting us this valuable information. Could a file on TRW be 'round the | |
| corner? Hmmmmmm could be. :-) | |
| Starting with this issue, Mind Mage will be assisting with Phrack Loopback as | |
| our Technical Advisor. He will handle questions regarding technical problems | |
| both for publication or for private response. Feel free to send your questions | |
| to phracksub@stormking.com and they will be forwarded and answered. | |
| This issue's Loopback has a very special message from Jester Sluggo as he | |
| gives notice of his official retirement from the hacking community. Sluggo | |
| remembers the past and give advice about the future; I continue my pursuit on | |
| the so-called professionals in the anti-virus community and exposes their real | |
| agenda; and, Sarlo takes us on a tour of the 1992 Consumer Electronics Show in | |
| Chicago and there is lots more. | |
| The Racketeer (Rack of The Hellfire Club) takes the reigns of the continuing | |
| Network Miscellany column and Rambone returns with the latest on what is | |
| happening in the underground world of computer software traders in Pirates | |
| Cove. | |
| Taran King is back for a special Phrack Pro-Phile with Lex Luthor, the founder | |
| of the Legion of Doom and perhaps the most legendary underground hacker ever. | |
| "If it's older than a week, then we won't have it online." | |
| You are invited to check out a great new BBS called Planet 10. If you have | |
| half a brain, you might even get access. Planet 10 is run by Control C and | |
| features messages and xfers that are timed to expire after 1 week maximum. | |
| Give it a call at (313)683-9722. | |
