| "You've Got The Right One Baby, UH HUH!" | |
| Happy New Year Everyone! HoHoCon'91 is behind us and with the end of the | |
| year is the end of the third volume of Phrack. This special issue is called | |
| Diet Phrack because of the whole Phrack vs. Phrack Classic crisis (which is | |
| probably more KL's doing than anyone elses) that went on during the middle of | |
| volume three. | |
| Diet Phrack was conceived in August 1991 during PartyCon when Dispater, | |
| Knight Lightning, and several other friends gathered to party and bitch about | |
| where Phrack was and wasn't going. Eventually this led to the new Phrack staff | |
| that began with Phrack 33. | |
| Diet Phrack is also the long-awaited sequel to Phrack 13 (which some | |
| consider the most worthless issue ever, but its probably because they weren't a | |
| part of Phrack's main circle of friends and didn't understand all the private | |
| jokes). | |
| COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING HOHOCON'91 | |
| "Phrack sucks!" | |
| Well that was certainly a common remark at HoHoCon and considering that | |
| the majority of the attendees were local Houston losers expecting us to print | |
| codes and passwords for them, we weren't really surprised. | |
| Do you think Phrack sucks? You probably aren't reading this if you do, | |
| but seriously, if you really think it sucks you can fuck off. You are welcome | |
| to go start your own magazine with the latest scans of c0dEz and VMBs (that | |
| will sure be useful after about a week). That is not what we are about. | |
| Why don't you try writing something yourself instead of copying useless | |
| material directly out of the Bellcore Catalog? Why don't you actually do | |
| something like hack instead of expecting others to do it for you?!? | |
| When Dispater stood up at HoHoCon and asked the crowd what kind of systems | |
| they hacked and what they were interested in learning about, the 70 people | |
| sitting there just looked around like a bunch of grazing cows (no pun or | |
| offense intended to our friends in -cDc-, oooM!) | |
| It's pretty obvious to us that the people who complain most about Phrack | |
| don't even bother to read it. At least they would know the correct spelling of | |
| our names. | |
| Phrack is about technology, how to create it, how to use it, and the | |
| implications that always arise from it. Phrack is not designed to do the | |
| hacking for you. For some, Phrack is a hacker "primer." Generally we expect | |
| that the reader already has a reasonable level of intelligence to begin with. | |
| In Houston that maybe that was to great an expectation. | |
| THANKS | |
| The Phrack Staff would like to thank the people in Cult of the Dead Cow, | |
| the people at WorldView that took the time to chat, the one guy from Digital | |
| Murder (who's name esacpes me at the moment) and NCC for being some of the | |
| coolest people we met while at the conference. Thanks to NIA Magazine, CUD, | |
| and everyone else that promoted it. Furthermore, a very special thanks goes to | |
| Drunkfux of dFx International. If not for him, HoHoCon'91 would not have | |
| happened!! Additionally this would mean that hordes of people drugged up on | |
| Marshmellow Hex sitting in a hallway with a laptop would not have created | |
| Cyberwaste; and, Demon Seed would not be alive. Check out cDc #200 for | |
| details! Thanks to Erik Bloodaxe for providing the flicks that some could not | |
| stomach (after too much beer & assorted beverages)! So thanks again Drunkfux. | |
| Nelson is my favorite. (!) | |
