    > But the magazine cover says "everything you need to be evil."

    actually it's "everything you need to be evil*" and there's a little box at the bottom with the footnote in it. can't quite make it out in that picture but it ends with "for self-defence only. Don't break the law!".

    that said, i did think it was an unwise choice when i saw it on the shelves in whsmiths. and this month's says "defeat the CIA" on the front of it (is about encryption), which is also asking for trouble.

    well, the webpage shows better intent: "Attack servers, crack passwords, exploit services, beat encryption - everything you need to protect yourself from evil."

    But the magazine cover says "everything you need to be evil."

    But it amounts to the same thing. This information is out there. You should be learning from it and protecting your information instead of trying to censor it as some sort of apology of crime. Anyone who is interested in "doing evil" and capable enough to do so, will surely find lots of ways they can gather that information online or even from programming/networking books.

    You are correct that the best way to learn to protect your servers is to learn what the attackers are doing to try to break in.

    Linux Format magazine (issue 120) will carry Ubuntu as well as Mandriva 2009.1
    http://www.linuxformat.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=NewArchives

    Issue 119 carries "Triple-booting DVD with PCLinuxOS 2009, Mepis 8 and Zenwalk 6"

    Not to "dis(s)" Fedora, but variety in Open Source/GNU/Linux will (hopefully) ensure ms doesn't nuke us.
