Phrack issue number 69 contains articles from researchers Aaron Portnoy and Alisa Esage, as well as articles on OS X rootkits and exploiting Ruby on Rails...

First released in 1985 via BBS, Phrack has been staffed by dozens of editors and contributors in its three-plus decades. The long-running zine has also hosted a number of notable articles, including the famed Hacker Manifesto and Smashing The Stack For Fun And Profit.

    And this is why I must not get active without having a permission to attack. A written statement by the owner of a computer or network allowing me to do my job.

    For the record, the same applies to doctors who, too, need your permission to cut you open. Doing so without is a serious crime called assault.
