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?

It all keeps seeming to be getting more dangerous

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.

What is dead?

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 Maybe, but by then the information may already be outdated.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.
