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."

    Issue #63 is the last one - if only they had used something larger than a 6-bit counter.

    This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.

    It says Number of users exceeded.

    Frankly I think it's lame.

    It seems they have been using the same server since 1985.

    Too late. Coral got to it after the slashdot hordes and so was only able to cache its corpse :(.

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: Phrack is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered hax0r community when IDC confirmed that Phrack market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all k-l33t readers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Phrack has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Phrack is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent International Blue Boxing Competition.

    You don't need to be an Erik Bloodaxe to predict Phrack's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Phrack faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Phrack because Phrack is dying. Things are looking very bad for Phrack. As many of us are already aware, Phrack continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    There can no longer be any doubt: Phrack is dying.

    What's the purpose of it, other than male sex appeal?

    I don't understand the question.

    I used to hang out under the stairs at the Galleria in Houston TX back in the 90s. All we really did was talk about Free BSD, Win NT, networking, and hacking door cards to hotels and such shit. And when the whole gang was togeather, we would walk outside to the park and smoke weed. Ahh the fond memories.

    Yes, apparently the slashdot crowd couldn't wait for issue #63 to bring phrack to an end.
