*Key hacker magazine faces closure.*

By Mark Ward

The in-house magazine of the digital underground, Phrack, is closing 
after 20 years as its editorial team steps down. As much manifesto as 
hacking handbook, the magazine was hugely influential in the early days 
of hacker culture.

It was very closely associated with legendary hacking groups such as the 
Legion of Doom that were the first serious explorers of cyberspace.

As hackers moved from dial-up bulletin boards on to the net, the 
magazine kept its place as a knowledgeable, and often scurrilous, source 
of security information.

For instance, issue 62 of Phrack contained articles about getting round 
Windows buffer overflow protections, advances in Windows shellcode, 
attacking Apache and hijacking wireless base stations.
