http://phrack.ru/[edit]

Does anyone know whether phrack.ru is permanently or temporarily down (or empty)? Perhaps it should be removed from the article? Keesiewonder ^talk 23:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just accessed it right now, so it's (back) up...? --florkle 09:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

phone hacking[edit]

I just removed this edit. If it is indeed true, please blend your edit in to existing content, or create a disambiguation page. --Keesiewonder ^talk 21:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Hacker Crackdown says it's a portmanteau of phreak and hack. --h2g2bob (talk) 22:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Hacker Manifesto into Phrack[edit]

I don't really see why it should be merged. Could you argue? --Arnauld (talk) 08:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So do I. I think the Hacker Manifesto is an important text that stands on its own. Although it was originally published in Phrack, there is no inherent relation between the text and the magazine. —Alexander Konovalenko (talk) 12:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree with Alexkon, it is a paper on his own not to be merged CGA (talk) 13:13, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phrack 66[edit]

Arrest of Knight Lightning[edit]

Courts do not find a person innocent in the US - potential verdicts are guilty and not guilty. Corrected, but someone may like to use more elegant phrasing —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.254.100.195 (talk) 01:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Longest running hacker zine?[edit]

It seems the cited statement from insecure.org "[Phrack] is the best, and by far the longest running hacker zine out there" can't be entirely true, given that Phrack's first issue came out in November 1985 whereas 2600's first issue was released in January 1984.
