| START the fireworks... | |
| ALERT the mass media... | |
| CUE up the Axel-F Beverley Hills Cop music... | |
| AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE NOTIFY MITCH KABAY...! | |
| Phrack 50 is here. | |
| To celebrate this landmark event, for a limited time, we are offering *all* | |
| Phrack issues (including this one) at a special "WE-MUST-BE-OUT-OF-OUR-MINDS" | |
| rate of HALF-PRICE!! That's right! Now you can enjoy Phrack for 50% off | |
| the standard price of free! Now you can enjoy your favorite electronic | |
| zine and still have enough money left over to get those breast implants! | |

| It seems, in recent months, the mass media has finally caught onto what we | |
| have known all along, computer security _IS_ in fact important. Barely a | |
| week goes by that a new vulnerability of some sort doesn't pop up on CNN. | |
| But the one thing people still don't seem to fathom is that _WE_ are the | |
| ones that care about security the most... We aren't the ones that the | |
| corporations and governments should worry about... We are not the enemy. | |
| Phrack is often described by the mass media as an 'Underground Hacker's Zine' | |
| run by `irresponsible` youths. Compare Phrack's distribution with that of | |
| the security publications that charge just enough money to keep students | |
| and interested outsiders from reading it... Then decide who is | |
| `irresponsible`. Phrack is often criticized by professionals as giving away | |
| tools to people who aren't responsible enough to use them. The fact is, we | |
| are giving away tools to people who aren't rich enough to buy them. | |
| The parallels between Internet packet sniffing and phone wire tapping are | |
| enormous. The abuses of wire tapping by government agencies are well | |
| documented. Not so well documented, however, are similar abuses by these same | |
| agencies across key Internet access points. This is just another classic | |
| example of the Government trying to assert complete control. The Internet is, | |
| however, anarchistic by nature and dynamic by design. It resists all attempts | |
| at governing and all attempts at control. | |
| By providing a public compendium of the same knowledge, information and | |
| resources that all the money in the world can buy, we help ensure that the | |
| Internet will remain safe with the individual. Knowledge is not power. | |
| Knowledge is _empowerment_. | |

| This issue contains a great deal of C source code. Somewhere in the | |
| neighborhood of 5000 lines of C source. To facilitate painless extraction | |
| of the code and support files into an arbitrarily designated hierarchical | |
| directory structure and still maintaining readability while in `zine` | |
| format, we developed a custom extraction utility. (Good lord that was a | |
| long sentence...) Article 16 contains the source for extract.c, instructions | |
| for compilation and use can be found therein. | |
