"Not another h/p zine that'll last like, 2 days!@#" "Not another shitty
zine written by a bunch of clueless 10-year-olds with nothing better to do@!"
System Failure is a publication geared towards the underground computer
culture; mainly dealing with h/p issues. Each issue is designed to have both
beginning and advanced material. Methods change all the time, and it's a race
between them and us to find the holes in the system, to openly show the
System Failure.
