Phrack Packs Up!
After 20 years of publishing, Phrack, the world's best known (and perhaps the first) magazine dedicated to hacking has decided to close its shop. Issue #63, their last one, will be released at the DefCon and What The Hack 2005 hacker conventions later this month. Submissions for this issue closed on the 10th of July.
Their first issue was released way back in November 1985. Phrack initally focussed on topics related to phreaking, but since then it has spanned the entire spectrum of hackingdom. At the center of a lot of contreversies and the target of many a law suit, the magazine covered the evolution of hacking from simple phone hacking (phreaking) to sophisticated mobile hacking.
The current editorial team said that they would pass on the baton to another team keen on restarting the mag. In the meantime, Phrack's website would be maintained till 2007.
