| ~ 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. | |

| 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. | |

| Phrack 42 is dedicated to John Guinasso, director of global | |
| network security, BT North America, without whose immortal comments, | |
| many would have never been motivated to write. | |
| "If you mess with our network and we catch you -- which we always | |
| do -- you will go down." (John Guinasso, Information Week, July 13, 1992) | |
| "Hell, WE owned Tymnet before BT did!" | |
