Phrack E-zine Comes To An End
Flammable writes "Since 1985 Phrack has been releasing ezines to public about Hacking, Cracking, Radio, Social Engineering, etc. All things come to an end, and Phrack is no different: the last issue, #63, is accepting articles from the community now."
How in the hell can you include that piece of shit Eric Raymond in the same category as great people like Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman?
Don't get so caught up in terminology... I wasn't referring to benevolent ones aligned with the forces good. Those people aren't hackers: they're software engineers, or security experts. I was more referring to those who succumb to the idolization of the illicit behavior that is glorified in Phrack and 2600. If you find my ranting on this subject unfavorable, you could be one of the dickless shitbags I'm talking about.
I don't use the term "script kiddy" because plenty of those I despise are adults, and should be treated as such. I don't use the term "Cracker", because that is someone who breaks the copy protection on software.
No, hacker is exactly the right word for those I despise: someone who hacks. All the whitewashing in the world won't remove the negative connotation that comes with this word. I should have known that I would get modded down by slashdotters who couldn't handle the truth. C'est la vie.
