I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to see that Phrack has returned. Phrack issue 64 is now online. There is an interesting piece that I was pointed to on binary analysis.
From the intro:
“As long as there is technology, there will be hackers. As long as there
are hackers, there will be PHRACK magazine. We look forward to the next
20 years”This is how the PHRACK63 Introduction was ending, telling everybody that
the Staff would have changed and to expect a release sometimes in
2006/2007. This is that release. This is the new staff, “The Circle of
Lost Hackers”. Every new management requires a presentation and we decided
to do it by Prophiling ourselves. Useless to say, we’ll keep anonymous,
mainly for security reasons that everyone understands.Being anonymous doesn’t mean at all being closed. Phrack staff has always
evolved, and will always evolve, depending on who really care about being
a smart-ass. The staff will always receive new people that cares about
writing cool articles, meet new authors and help them at publishing their
work in the best conditions. Grantee of freedom of speech will be
preserved. It is the identity of our journal.Some people were starting to say that phrack would have never reborn. That
there would have never been a PHRACK64 issue. We heard that while we were
working on, we smiled and kept going on. Some others were saying that the
spirit was lost, that everything was lost.No, Phrack is not dead. Neither is the spirit in it.
Very cool to see this one alive and kicking.
