Phrack 72 released today. phrack.org/issues/72/1 It got me thinking. I first read Phrack back in the 90's as I started hanging out on IRC (maybe '93 or '94?), as I was learning about FreeBSD and later, Linux. It must have been Phrack 43-45 where I started. What a wild ride on the Internet.

At long last - Phrack 72 has been released online for your reading pleasure! Check it out: phrack.org
