2023-07-23 at 3:05 PM UTC“Echomail Networks” by Textmode Magazine [PHATstar/KANSIT]
May 22, 2023/in Uncategorized/by warmfuzzy
There is an upcoming magazine dedicated to The BBS Scene: meet Textmode Magazine's “Echomail Networks.” It is meant to be an all-encompassing document about everything to do with Bulletin Board System's Echomail Networks. There are certain things in the BBS Scene that are hard to get your head around, such as how to set up Echomail and BBS Doors. Both of these are planned to be made and published within the year. The issue known as “Echomail Networks” should be complete in about two months from now, though it may take longer to get this in hard-copy print. It will be in PDF, ePub, and paper magazine forms. Echomail Networks will have around 85 pages of content in grayscale and colour covers on front and back. The eMag will be sold for $12 USD and with all of its content will be very much worth that coin. The paper-back magazine will be sold for $20 USD. It has twelve chapters with the addition of an appendix. The (Digital Restrictions Management) magazine will be printed in 300 dpi for the eBook, and 600 dpi for the print magazine. There will be no DRM enabled on the file that the magazine is distributed through. The readers are highly encouraged to pay for the production of the magazine, and it would be copyright infringement to copy the book without paying for it. However, the file itself will be yours without DRM-tainting. We are not some large corporation that is trying to steal all your money, but rather a small group of friends that are trying to improve the BBS Scene through making materials to help you on your journey in regards to everything echomail. It is an all-in-one grand document about everything echomail. Imagine a magazine that is completely devoted into practical setups of echonets in all the steps involved in making echomail networks function. The production of this magazine will have taken hundreds of hours to get everything down in print before it is ready to be published. As you might imagine, with a small group of friends making a very large magazine this is not going to be a quick, one, two, three and done sort of thing; this is a major project with a lot of expenses. It is hoped that our hard work will meet the needs of those people who want to learn about any aspect of Bulletin Board System's Echomail Networks. Be sure to pick up a copy of it once its completed. A blog article will be written when the magazine is complete… we hope to help you then… -

--[ Introduction
Phrack! We're back! It was only five years ago that issue 0x45 was
released. It may sound bad, but it is also, indeed, quite bad. Issue 0x45
was released four years after issue 0x44. And we are now five years after
that. Just trying to set the context here. The world is so different and so
many things have happened in these five years that it makes no sense trying
to make any point. Phrack has always been a reflection of the hacking
community, and guess what, the community is moving away from itself. By
this we don't mean that there are no talented hackers, because there most
definitely are (just take a look at our authors). We also don't mean that
there is no exquisite public hacking, because there is (again, our articles
as proof). However, there is a clear move away from the collective hacking
mindset that was most prevalent in the past. The word "scene" brings only
smirks to people's faces. There are many reasons for this, and we are all
to blame [1].
So where is the community right now, and, most importantly, where is it
going?
We are all ego-driven, more so nowadays we would argue, and this has
definitely made collectives much harder to thrive. We expect direct payback
from our hacking, in many forms, including reputation. While it was quite
common to receive anonymous papers, in the past five years we got almost
none. Where is the new Malloc Maleficarum? Quality isn't the question here,
we have high quality hacking, we covered that. The question is about the
community and how it has changed in the last 10-15 years. And about Phrack.
Phrack started as a community zine of exchanging technical information and
hacking techniques in a time that it was hard to find it. It later changed.
It became a symbol of achievement, eliteness, and honor to be published in
Phrack. A slight but significant change happened afterwards. Phrack
gravitated (willingly or not is the subject of another discussion) towards
an academic medium. Academia noticed the high quality of Phrack papers,
started citing them, and basing their offensive and defensive work on them.
Did that alienate the underground that Phrack represented for so many
years? Yes, we think it did. But the underground also changed. Some of it
became involved in malware, spyware, and also the "infosec" industry. And
this mutated the underground. Of course we don't judge. Shouldn't Phrack be
the reflection of the community, whatever the community is? Or should
Phrack be a beacon of the old school underground? Well, it remains to be
seen. Phrack will always be alive as long as the community is alive,
reflecting it. If the hacking community becomes "infosec" in its majority,
then probably so will Phrack. If the heart of the community is CTF, Phrack
will reflect that. If the community focuses on malware, so will Phrack.
Isn't that what Phrack has always done? It always was and always will be
"by the community, for the community". If the community has decided that
Phrack has a five year release cycle, then that's where we are.
Unfortunately, this issue is again an issue of eulogies; we have lost
hackers that have had an enormous impact on our community. Phrack would
like to say goodbye to them. Their loss saddens us deeply, and makes our
community poorer in talent, ethics, and intellect. We also mourn lost
communities. Segfault.net has been our home/hosting in the past and is now
gone.
But we also have some good news! You might have come across Phrack
merchandise [2], well, yes, we have resurrected it! The original 2003 art
work has been found on a backup drive. All profits go to the Electronic
Frontier Foundation. The EFF is a rare example of good and simple advise
for the ordinary citizens. Plus a defender of our rights online and of the
freedom of information. A beacon of light to say the least. The EFF used to
run one of the three FTP servers to download Phrack as well. And let's not
forget that the EFF paid for the attorney of Phrack's co-founder Knight
Lightning in the 1990 court case and supported him all the way. They
defended against the US Secret Service, a ruthless adversary with no
respect for the freedom of information or the hacking scene in general.
With EFF's help the case against Knight Lighting collapsed and the US
Secret Service looked like a pissed on poodle.
The merchandise has the Phrack Gnome on the front and the Hacker's
Manifesto on the back. And ships worldwide.
