==Diet Phrack== Volume Three, Issue Thirty-Six, File 1 of 11 Issue XXXVI Index _________________ P H R A C K 3 6 December 31, 1991 _________________ "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.
