Phrack Inc. Volume 0x0c, Issue 0x41, Phile #0x01 of 0x0f =-= =-= Introduction =-= =-= =-= By The Circle of Lost Hackers =-= =-= Welcome back. Another year has passed, another PHRACK issue is out, PHRACK65. Every time somebody gives me a present I end up thinking to the story of that gift. Where did it come from?
Who worked on it? Did who worked on it ever thought that his work would have end up in my hands? What about a PHRACK issue?
PHRACK comes from the underground, the underground worked on it, submitting papers, sending feedback, commenting, spending long night chatting, reading, BREATHING. Does the underground still breath? Things change, panta rei. As hackers, we have fun.

Hacking is fun. You know it because you did it, because you spent nights and nights on this fucking fun, going to sleep at 6 a.m. And waking up three hours later to present your face at school or work, with your brain still back home on your encrypted work. Are you still having fun? Please, don't take it personally, don't over-react. It's just a question. A question that everybody should pose to themselves every single day, no matter what he is doing.
FUN is not only PAYBACK. We are human, we love receiving congrats, who doesn't? We LOVE seeing our little work spread around. We love the clap-clap-clap sound. But does it really boil down only to that? When you lose fun and start doing things only for the payback, you're dead. Everyone of you who experienced a bad job or a bad exam topic knows the feeling of 'wasting time on useless things' that pops out in those moments.
But, most of the time, you HAVE TO do it. Well, nobody HAS TO DO hacking. If you are only doing that for a payback, than you are a DEAD hacker. If you are only doing that to present a paper to a conference, to see your name somewhere, than you are a DEAD hacker.
It will work. You don't need fun to be skilled, you don't even need to be skilled to post or to go to a conference, there are so many around that everybody has some hole to fix.
But your touch with the underground is gone. Your responsibility towards friends, ideas, codes will slowly fade away. HACKING is also responsibility and FUN is the only way to not feel its pressure You might disagree, just post on your idea. Maybe it is a too dark.
Scenario, maybe it is just a spring blues, maybe I am just pessimistic, but this is the feeling. This is money taking over everywhere, this is seeing more and more things done only for the payback. This is seeing the underground heart beating slower and slower. PHRACK is just an example of what the underground has been able to do.
Of what we can do. But so many hackers out there are capable of disrupting the system without having to read or write a magazine like we do. We are entering into a period where Government and Politics are trying to control technology with supposed-anti-terrorism laws. And they don't lack money or good congrats.
So please, please, help this fucking heart beating faster, pushing blood around. Please HAVE FUN. This is the 65th edition of Phrack and we are still alive. Despite that some people say they don't learn anything when reading phrack we still think that Phrack is one of the best underground communication methods. Oh well, for sure, there are other and even better ways.
But Phrack is one way and probably not the worse. We have tried to release this issue earlier but editing a magazine (and especially Phrack) is not easy. We have received a lot of positive comments after Phrack release #64 and a lot of people said they will contribute.
However we did not see anything coming. Almost all articles from this release are coming from our first circle of friends. This release, despite that it is not the perfect one, tries to bring a good mix between technical articles and what we call spirit articles. Our introducing and concluding articles (Phrack Prophile and The Underground Myth) bring two opposite visions of the hacking underground. Freedom of speech. We have kept with our regular columns Phrack World News and International Scenes. We also have decided to publish less exploit articles.
However, low-level hackers should find their way easily into this new release. 0x0d The Underground Myth anonymous 0x0e Hacking your brain: Artificial Conciousness -C 0x0f International scenes various Windows stealth hooking article brings a deep analysis of the XP kernel internals by presenting two sophisticated backdooring techniques. It is generally hard to find valuable reverse engineering articles covering.new. topics and satisfying our standards, but these guys have made a great job.

Make sure also to check out the PEB Hooker and the full published source code if M$ software reversing is your thing. Both of those articles will bring you a very good read. Felinemenace is featured again and brings you one of their latest hacks on more recent network protocols. Our second network article digs into FISSO by introducing not-so-public information about australian restricted networks.
As we continue to care about cryptography, Phrack #65 includes a useful cryptographic concept of deniable encryption, a particulary relevant topic for hackers. Check out Julia's article for all details. As mentioned, we have tried to bring you the best low-level hacking around. Articles such as Hacking the System Management Mode, Hacking the $49 Wifi Finder, Mystifying the debugger, are not really 0day for those of you already in the underground, but aim to bring you sufficiently material to develop your creativity on that matter. Finally, we could not release Phrack without at least one exploitation article. Max Packets has done the job of describing step by step his Samba WINS exploit.
The information contained herein will certainly be enough for those of you guys who want to develop their own. Scene Shoutz: - Again, Phrack #65 could not have happened without so many people. Thanks to the admins, coders, hackers, scripterz.
Shouts: mauro, sysk, leandro, assad, kiwicon for an amazing conference with a lot of original topics. As long as you stay a non profit event Phrack will support you!
We are also looking forward to the next BACon in september 2008. Shouts to all south american hackers & expats. No shouts: All supposed 'Underground people' who asked us million times when Phrack will be out but never contribute to the magazine.
If you guys were a little more productive perhaps Phrack would be released more often. Also, we will -not- help poor indonesians bypassing government's p0rn websites filters. Sorry [email protected].
Lames:. cucamonga ([email protected]) has joined #phrack why hasnt phrack65 been leaked yet probably coz i don't have it probably cause nobody wants to read it Phrack has not been leaked this time.sorry for that. Probably because.
