Final Phrack Released ... Until the Next One
An anonymous reader writes "The final issue of Phrack has been released. From the introduction: 'For 20 years PHRACK magazine has been the most technical, most original, the most Hacker magazine in the world. The last five of those years have been under the guidance of the current editorial team. Over that time, many new techniques, new bugs and new attacks have been published in PHRACK. We enojoyed every single moment working on the magazine.'" Despite earlier reports to the contrary, though, "this is NOT to be the end of Phrack." All straight?
...articles with the word "enjoied" spelled properly.
Any ideas who is going to pick up the torch and carry on? I have little to input or i'd try to get involved.

It will be missed. But in these times I'm sure publishing something such as this is viewed with suspicion. So much for freedom os speach.
Who will guard the guards?
With the Patriot Act and the powers that be more than willing to name anyone a terrorist, I am truthfully too scared half the time to even think of testing out anything anymore. I used to be more than happy trying new things with computers and security, however now they'll probably charge you as a terrorist if you dumpster drive in the wrong place.

Um, I think this is called an update. The others are from May and January and talk about the planning. This article is about the release.

Some believe Phrack has been 'dead' long before this issue. When a security enthusiast finds a new exploit, will he want to wait 3 months for Phrack to publish it in their next issue? Maybe, but by then the information may already be outdated. Phrack was great, and it will be enjoyable to read future releases, but it's not what it was and can never achieve that status again.
time is a perception of a being's consciousness
time is your 6th sense, the wierd ones are 7+
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
I know I know, it's actually been released now...hooray. As similarly mentioned previously here and here . Sorry, ordinarily I wouldn't care, but I've just re-read the same news from so many sources about this magazine closing. Enough already.
Disgruntledly yours,

I hope the Celine Dion producers are reading this. This is exactly how the Celine Dion tour should be continued - with a new Celine Dion!

Maybe a tad queer.
What makes you think free speach issues have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with it? Looks to me more like they are taking a powder for a spell: Expect a new release, under a new regime, sometime in 2006/2007. Don't see much in the way of blather over "free speach" issues at their web site...

How's today any different from the communist/german/(insert super power here) scare of last century? or withcraft-hunting/inquisitions of centuries ago? or Roman/Mongol/Turks invasions of recent history?
Face it buddy, the threat of oppression from exclusive groups today is no different from any other day in human history. It's the few that stand up against them, standing up against all odds, that end up changing history... changing it ever slowly for the better.
Progress was never made by conformist cowards, never.
Apparently, I've evolved and become the ueberhacker if this is any indication. (Of course it isn't, but hell.)

Then the terrorists have won. LOL! You can't win you know... especially not on

Ah! Easy! They didn't have any computers back then and couldn't be l33t hax0rz!!!!!!!!!!!
(might have got the spelling wrong!)
So the "innovation" is the big wheels and finding some granny-stairs? This neither qualifies as "news for nerds" nor "stuff that matters".
http://www.phrack.org/show.php?p=63&a=5 Apple has been notifed, apparently and is fixing.
Over that time, many new techniques, new bugs... We enojoyed every single moment working on the magazine
they were kind enough to leave us with one last bug.
Enojoyed is not a correction to enjoied.
/. editors? Suggestion, try the Firefox Google Toolbar, it comes with a spell checker.
You mean "Enjoyed". Getting a little too much caffeine there

I never could get too deep into security. Whenever I see articles about hacking and exploits, I read them (as is the case here). Everytime, though, I end up wishing I understood more than just the surface.
Maybe what I really need are some rollerblades and a cool handle...
So move on to the next fuckin story, moron.
Do not say a word. They are listening even as we speak.

I look forward to seeing that quote in a Bill Griffith cartoon:
"YOW! The USA PATRIOT act made my POP-TARTS stale!"
Hmmm, maybe I should go check on my breakfast foods...
Show me on the doll where his noodly appendage touched you.
The difference is the ability to make an impact.
The new threates today have less of an ability to make an impact unless you are talking about the governments and then i would say they have as much impact as you would let them. Changes can be made on the second easier then the first but fear is nothing to be taken from either.
now they'll probably charge you as a terrorist if you dumpster drive in the wrong place.
I think that extra 'r' might be what's causing the problems.
Bah!
You just have to be more cautious and learn a bit more before you attempt anything. There_is_always a way around it.
This SIG pulled due to lack of funding. (This damn war is costing too much!)
Which means you've already let the terrorists win. In fact, you probably are a terrorist, I'm calling the Department of Homeland Security. I have to think of the children after all...
Real geeks are to caught up with taking technology further to worry about the petty fights of mortals. There is no law other than what you can make happen and what you can't make happen. Let the rest of society, the stupid people, worry about the consequences and legalities. :)
At what price learning? At what cost wisdom? The price is a man's peace of mind, and the cost is his life.
wan't the final Phrack last month?

Does this mean that Eric BloodAxe is gonna take over again?
