      Use http://www.phrack.org/

      I hate it when you have to use "www".

    Man, they made really a lot of big things, "Smashing the stack for fun and profit" in Phrack 49, its maybe the bible for actual Exploits ( BoF ). Or the Fyodor paper for Remote OS Detection.... Those where great times. In fact i dont know a single actual publication that has that professional level. Those people are real security specialist. I'll miss that e-zine

    "That and Steven Levy's Hackers [gutenberg.org] probably saved me from a destiny as an ineffectual philosophy professor or some other brand of malcontent fat-assed intellectual."

    Replace phrack with 2600 and you have the story of the last 2 years of my life :-)

    Hackers is such an important book. It and The Soul of a New Machine.

    Surely having been arrested and got off should vindicate what he does?

    If by "got off" you mean got $100,000 in debt in lawyers fees before the government finally dropped the charges, then yeah.

    I will second that. The GP just doesn't know what he is talking about. I have no experience with 2600, so I won't say anything about that, but recent Phrack issues are far from "omfg 1337 101".
