| Phrack is BACK! Welcome to the first issue of Phrack Volume Four! This issue |
| we feature "Exploring Info-America" by The Omega and White Knight. Other |
| articles of note include TWO articles by Count Zero, Black Kat's latest |
| installment on his VAX/VMS series, and information on VOS by Dr. No-Good! |
| Also, starting this issue, we introduce Pirate's Cove by Rambone. Its a new |
| regular column about the pirate community. Finally, a very special thanks goes |
| out the the newest member of the Phrack Staff, Spirit Walker for the help with |
| assembling this issue. |
|
|
| There is a little surprise in Phrack Loopback. Our old pal THE DICTATOR has |
| been corresponding with Knight Lightning and myself over the nets. Yes, you |
| heard right! Dale Drew, who played a key role in busting people during |
| OPERATION SUN-DEVIL and spying on our friends at SummerCon '88 is back and |
| believe it or not... he wants Phrack! And speaking of Operation Sun-Devil, |
| the federal government convicted their first defendant -- details in Phrack |
| World News (Part 2). |
|
|
| Phrack World News (Part 3) contains everything you need to know about how |
| the Regional Bell Operating Companies feel about our private hobby bulletin |
| boards and next issue we will have information about what YOU can do about it! |
| Also, next issue watch for preliminary details for SummerCon '92!!! Will |
| ESP be there again? |
|
|
| Before the rumor mill starts churning again, I will clarify what is happening |
| with Phrack management. Crimson Death has decided to retire from Phrack and |
| start working on his new UNIX based BBS, CyberWaste! If you are interested in |
| keeping in touch with Crimson Death, you may do so by writing: |
| cdeath@GNU.AI.MIT.EDU for the time being. However, keep an eye out for the |
| CyberWaste hostname; @DEMONSEED.COM! |
|
|
| Well that's it for now. If you are going to the Second Conference on |
| Computers, Freedom, & Privacy (a/k/a CFP-2) in Washington, D.C. (March 18-20, |
| 1992), Knight Lightning and I will see you there! |
|
