| DefCon. I love DefCon. Why do I love DefCon? Several reasons. I get to |
| see many people I do not normally get to hang out with. And it's in Las Vegas. |
| Ok, I guess that's two reasons. I love DefCon for two reasons. |
|
|
| Las Vegas is a blast. No two ways about it. Free drinks _while_ you get |
| FREE money. What more can anymore ask for?!@ Sex? Gluttony? Corruption? |
| Greed? Thin facades? Tackiness? Friends, it's _all_ there. |
|
|
| Vegas is certainly not for everyone. It's not for the timid, the shy or |
| the compulsive. Vegas can and will eat you alive, if you are not careful. |
| Even the most vigilant often find themselves victimized by Sin City... As I |
| write this paragraph, my memory draws me back... back to that first week in |
| July 1997, towards the end of DefCon V, when a good friend and seasoned Vegas |
| adventurer came knocking on my door at half past 5am... |
|
|
| He was armed with a coke in one hand, a whiskey in the other. The fact |
| that he was noticely unencumbered by money caught my eye. The Casino Demons |
| had relieved him of that. He was in need of a safe place to camp for a few |
| hours... I happily obliged. I attempted to make his stay with us as |
| comfortable as possible... However, my friend refused all attempts at |
| hospitality. He was still deep in the throes of what professional Vegas |
| travelers call 'The Zone'. He was in a dull haze, a casino-atmosphere-induced |
| catatonic state, in which external stimuli are, for the most part, ignored. |
| There was little I could do for him, so I bedded down... And there he sat, |
| engulfed in darkness, deep within his own world... Eventually, exhaustion |
| overcame him, and he drifted into an uncomfortable sleep... Early in the |
| morning, he arose, determined to retake his reappropriated wealth. |
|
|
| It took me a few tries of getting raped by that town before I realized how |
| it works, and, more importantly, how to work it. |
| |
| It can be summed up in one word. An abbreviation even. COMPS. Vegas is |
| all about being compensated for. Compensation for being in out in the fucking |
| desert. Compensation for staying in some shitty hotel. Compensation for |
| winning some of their money. Compensation for losing ALL of your money. |
| Learning how to have a good time in Vegas means learning how to get comped. |
| In order to be comped, you must either a) be some one important, b) know |
| someone important, or the most common occurrence, c) comp other people. |
|
|
| This past DefCon, I had my room upgraded from a single-bed room on the |
| first floor, to a double-bed on the second, and then from that to a $400/nite |
| suite somewhere up in the 20's (you know, the kind with the double doors). |
| It's all about knowing how to work the system. Knowing how to get comped. |
| Complaining about something is often a good way to get something for free in |
| Vegas. So is being put out in some fashion or another. Go ahead and watch |
| Casino and Swingers a few dozen times and you will get the idea... |
|
|
|
|
| A word about this issue. In my opinion, and the opinion of many people |
| way cooler then me, this is the Best Phrack Issue Ever (TM). Ok. Now. In |
| Issue 48, I know I promised timely dissemination. However, I am an older / |
| wiser Phrack editor now, and, what it comes down to, is that timeliness is not |
| always possible. Not when there is a minimum level of excellence that must be |
| preserved. This issue is a perfect example of that phenomena. We have |
| amassed some seriously cool shit this time around. Technical excellence |
| abounds here, and if we are a few weeks late, I think it should be well worth |
| the wait. We've got several ground breaking articles, a great deal of source, |
| fully nude photos of Milla Jovovich (not available in ASCII-Phrack) and a new |
| format. Commentary, as always, is appreciated. |
|
|
| What makes this (or any) issue so damned good? Simple. The incredible |
| array of talented individuals that graciously lend their time to writing |
| articles for us. I just want to give a word of thanks to you guys: past, |
| present and future. Without you, Phrack would slip quietly into the night... |
| This issue, a special werdup to halflife for the technically superior work |
| he contributed for P51, thrice over. |
|
|
| Phrack 51 comes atcha power-packed with new streamlined formatting! We |
| cut out colons, added a surplus of dashes and brackets, and b00m! Less fluff, |
| more EDGE. Areodynamicphrack. Europhrack. _Slickphrack_. |
|
|
| Bad to the bone and shot to the heart when you think about Phrack, you touch |
| yourself. |
|
|
| Enjoy the magazine. It is for and by the hacking community. Period. |
|

| PS |

|
| The aforementioned gamblaholic ended up being comped three $20 meals, and a |
| show (Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo). Man, that lucky son-of-a-bitch got to |
| see Lance at the Carlo... |
