HWA.hax0r.news? don't be fooled by the name! we have info you need!
Synopsis: Hacker/Security Newsletter with announcement mailing list;
Whats in a name? why HWA.hax0r.news??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HWA stands for Hackers Without Attitudes, as a group we have been around since 1984
Cruciphux in his infinite wisdom decided to chronicle the events of the underground
and hacking/security "scene" a year ago and thus HWA.hax0r.news was born.
The name is a piss-take on current culture's values and views on the hacking and
cracking underground scene, the dots in the name is a pisstake of the "internet"
proliferation and inundation in the media, besides it looks kinda l33t.
In case you couldn't figure it out hax0r is "new skewl" and although it is laughed at,
shunned, or even pidgeon holed with those 'dumb leet (l33t?) dewds' (see article in
issue #4) this is the state of affairs. It ain't Stephen Levy's HACKERS anymore. BTW
to all you up and comers, i'd highly recommend you get that book. Its almost
like buying a clue. Anyway..on with the show .. - Cruciphux (Editor/Guy in charge)
Other books i'd recommend reading:
TCP/1P Network administration
DNS and BIND
TCL/TK Tools
PERL in a nutshell (All the nutshell books are hi-class)
And several others, look around on Amazon, I hear Maximum Security isn't too bad
either but haven't read it. If you can recommend more reading materials email me
cruciphux@dok.org and i'll post a list.
